On Monday, November 3, Election Eve, at 8:00 p.m. I will be singing with The Riverside Choral Society at Carnegie Hall. We will be the guests of the Mannes Orchestra, conducted by David Hayes (who, may I add, is incredibly easy on the eyes). The orchestra kicks off the evening with Messiaen's L'Ascension and we will join them for the second half of the evening to present Mendelssohn's Lobgesang, his seldom-performed and majestic second symphony. It's going to be a wonderful evening and I'd be thrilled if you joined us.
If gorgeous Carnegie Hall, gorgeous music, gorgeous conductor, and gorgeous MAK-in-a-tux aren't enough incentive for you, then hold on to your hat. All this can be yours for the gorgeous price of zero dollars. That's right - it's free! Simply pick up your tickets, up to six per person, in advance at the Carnegie Hall box office located at 57th Street and Seventh Avenue (full details here). I wouldn't wait too long, as last year's Carnegie Hall program with Mannes (the Stravinsky Symphony of Psalms) "sold out" quickly.
Let me know if you'll be in the audience so that I can look for you afterwards. Hope to see you there!
