An Afternoon of Song

  • Feb 16, 2020 @ 3:00 P.M.
Join Curtis for a special afternoon of song and opera. Recent alumni Elena Perroni (Opera ’18) and Evan LeRoy Johnson (Opera ’18) have quickly become favorites among Philadelphia audiences with rave reviews for their performances at the Mann Center for the Performing Arts and Opera Philadelphia, among other venues. The former classmates return to Field Concert Hall for a lyrical afternoon. Pianist and Hirsig Family Chair of Vocal Studies Danielle Orlando accompanies the singers.

Please note: Eric Owens will no longer appear on the February 16 recital.
