A Hundred Thousand Days of Light: An Evening of American Song | Barbara Quintiliani in Recital
Join soprano Barbara Quintiliani and pianist Stewart Robert Schroeder on a journey of discovery to explore the beauty, power, and distinctiveness of the American voice through the art of song from the time of the Revolutionary War through today. This inclusive program, featuring four arrangements by Quintiliani, presents works by Samuel Barber, Thomas Haynes Bayly, Carrie Jacobs Bond, Mary Elizabeth Turner Salter, Lori Laitman, and Giancarlo Menotti. Quintiliani questions how, when, and why these artists ultimately broke free from the overwhelming influence of Europe to find their unique and quintessentially “American” voice. She captures the essence of America in each era represented in the program and reminds audiences of the beauty of our differences.
