Mezzo-soprano FREDERICA VON STADE is described as “one of America’s finest artists and singers” by The New York Times. SAMUEL RAMEY is considered one of the world's foremost interpreters of bass-baritone operatic and concert repertoire. Together, they are simply spectacular. Joined by a piano accompanist, the celebrated voices and irresistible personalities of these beloved stars take center stage as they perform a mixture of classical solo selections and opera duets in the first act. In the second act, Flicka (as she is affectionately known around the world) and Sam will perform lighter fare including Broadway favorites with selections by composers such as Rodgers and Hart, Sondheim, Gershwin and more. These two renowned artists have garnered raves for their performances together these past few seasons. Since 2010 is considered Flicka’s “farewell” year, this concert is one of the last chances to experience them onstage together. It’s not to be missed.
