The New York Festival of Song marks its eighth annual residency at the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts with AT HOME: Intrigues in the salon, the kitchen, the nursery and the bedroom, to be performed on Tuesday, March 15, 2016 at 8:00 p.m. at Merkin Concert Hall--with a preview performance scheduled to take place at the Caramoor Center in Katonah, New York on Sunday, March 13 at 4 p.m.
A quartet of exciting young voices brings to life this extraordinary program, which features a mini-song cycle for every room in the house, with works by a wide range of composers (and in six languages): Saint-Saëns, Bernstein, Poulenc, Villa-Lobos, Montsalvatge and Bucchino.
The young artists will be joined by NYFOS artistic director Steven Blier and associate artistic director Michael Barrett on piano.
Despite having created and premiered over 100 unique programs, many of which have toured the United States, Blier touts he wouldn't trade his time at Caramoor for the world:
"I always look forward to our week at Caramoor, which becomes a precious Zen-garden of song as the winter loosens its grip on the world. This year, our program is about the rooms of a house--intrigues in the parlor, the kitchen, the nursery, the dressing room and the bedroom. At Caramoor, we'll use an expanded playing area on the floor of the music room to delineate each room of our music-filled home--our first environmental recital."
Tickets for NYFOS' concert at Merkin Concert Hall run between $40-55 for the public, with seats for students costing just $10.
Tickets for the March 13 preview performance at Caramoor range $15-35.
