Gorgeous Trifles

Our second Music Under the Dome concert, entitled Gorgeous Trifles features a number of first-time performers on the series. The concert will begin with two arias starting with the Flower Duet from Lakmé, and then the Dew Fairy aria from Hansel und Gretel, all with Schwob Opera singers under the direction of Dr. Joshua May. Next is Debussy’s stunningly beautiful Clair de Lune, performed by new Schwob graduate pianist Jarret Holbrook. This will be followed by a wildly inventive piece by Brazilian composer Hector Villa Lobos, his Jet Whistle, performed by brothers Jonathan Simmons (cello) and Andrew Simmons (flute), both graduate students and both outstanding performers who are coached by Dr. Andree Martin. Visual designs for this concert will be done by CSU Art Alumna and gifted painter, Julianna Wells.

Reception at 5pm with wine and cheese, and 45 minute concert at 5:37pm!
