Edmund Cionek — Prelude and Five Dreams of Walt Whitman
William Bolcom — Cabaret Songs
New York Stories invites the audience to connect with that most intimate of instruments: the human voice. This concert brings together three iconic literary figures—Dorothy Parker of the Algonquin Round Table, Walt Whitman, the famed poet of Leaves of Grass, and Arnold Weinstein, librettist for Pulitzer Prize-winning composer William Bolcom. Their timeless words come to life through vocal performances, set to piano accompaniment by three distinctive composers: Arthur Gottschalk, Edmund Cionek, and William Bolcom.
Join us for an engaging evening of sophisticated and expressive vocal interpretations!
