Nathan Gunn performing at Notre Dame in 2009

Barihunk Nathan Gunn has announced that he's beginning a four-year artist-in-residence series at the University of Notre Dame. Gunn will spend one week each semester for the next four years interacting with Notre Dame students and faculty and with residents in the community. He will teach vocal students, visit classes, coach students as they prepare for OperaND’s annual performances and participate in public events with faculty.

On September 10th, he will perform “The Art of Song and a Life in Music: A Conversation and Performance with Nathan Gunn and Pianist John Blacklow” at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center, inviting the audience on stage with him for a small, interactive concert experience. Gunn will share reflections on his life in music and his repertoire, which ranges from art song to opera, to the American songbook, cabaret and works of contemporary composers.

Tickets for the performance are $10 and may be purchased by calling the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center ticket office at 574-631-2800 or visiting performingarts.nd.edu.

Eugene Brancoveanu Triumphs in Carmina Burana; SF Recital Next

Eugene Brancoveanu, who we are certain is one of the next operatic superstars, recently scored a major triumph singing Carl Orff's Carmina Burana in Santa Cruz. The Santa Cruz Sentinel wrote:

Outstanding guest vocalists filled the three solo rolls. Eugene Brancoveanu, baritone, displayed amazing versatility in his extensive solos. He exuded a calm earnestness in his "Omnia sol temperat" "The sun warms everything"; his powerful voice exploded vigorously in "Estuans interius" Burning inside. In "Dies, nox et omina" "Day, night and everything", Brancoveanu seamlessly traversed over three octaves as he described the various pains of love.

The former Adler Fellow at the San Francisco Opera now returns to the Bay Area to perform a song recital at the SF Conservatory of Music on Sunday, May 16th. Readers can get two for one tickets by visiting the City Box Office website and entering the promo code EB50.
