Among the soloists are soprano Aubry Ballaro, mezzo-soprano Pascale Spinney, baritone Benjamin Dickerson, and bass Peter Barber. They will be accompanied by Music Director Audrey Saint-Gil.

The recital will feature works which set the poetry of famous French writer Paul Verlaine to music. The program is comprised of selections such as Reynaldo Hahn’s “Chanson d’automne,” and “L’heure exquise,” Poldowski’s “Cythere” and “Spleen,” Vierne’s “A une femme” and “Marine,” and more.
