We recently featured Andrew Garland in the Cincinnati Opera's announcement of their new season. We've now learned that he's appearing in the new season of the New York Festival of Song under the auspices of the beloved Steven Blier.
He will be joined by the amazing mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey in a musical birthday
tribute to the great American composer Ned Rorem. Although Rorem wrote opera, the concert will present highlights from his successful
career as a songwriter. Rorem has been dubbed "America's Schubert" because of the 500 songs that he has written in his 90 years, many of which regularly appear on recital programs. Lindsey and Garland will also perform works by Rorem's friends and
inspirations, Samuel Barber, Leonard Bernstein, Paul Bowles, Benjamin
Britten, Theodore Chanler, Aaron Copland, Noël Coward, Francis Poulenc,
and Virgil Thomson.
