Rubbing Shoulders With Another Celebrity
Last weekend we finally came back to home sweet home - NYC! We played on Sunday in a new series called Prism Concerts at Central Synagogue (Lexington Ave at 55th St.) run by Judy Clurman. In addition to our old favorite, Mendelssohn's D minor trio, we played a really interesting trio by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco - his No. 2 in G minor.
The rest of the program included some organ pieces on the Synagogue's beautiful organ, some choral pieces with Judy Clurman's accomplished Festival Choir, and some songs by the amazing opera star, Deborah Voigt! Over the years I've enjoyed hearing her at the Met in performances of Tristan, Der Rosenkavalier, Die Frau Ohne Schatten, Ariadne auf Naxos, Les Troyens etc.... So, it was an honor to share a stage with her.

Hey Julie. Now you ought to ask Deborah Voigt to perform the Shostakovich Seven Romances on Verses by Alexander Blok with the Claremont Trio. That would be great to put on your third CD as a follow up to the all Russian Shostakovich/Arensky disc that you currently have in the works!
