Broadcast: An Afternoon of Song
Enjoy a highlight from the 2019–20 season in a live broadcast, to be aired on YouTube and Facebook Live on Friday, May 8.
Part of the Curtis Presents series, this recital was originally performed in February 2020 in Field Concert Hall.
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 returned to Field Concert Hall for a lyrical afternoon with special guests. Pianist and Hirsig Family Chair of Vocal Studies Danielle Orlando accompanied the singers.
