About this Event
Join us for an inspiring afternoon (correction the concert starts at 3pm not 2pm) of music as Chicago Artopia presents The Art of Song, a celebration of the timeless beauty of art songs and arias. This recital will highlight works by renowned composers such as Samuel Barber, Leonard Bernstein, Gabriel Fauré, Giacomo Puccini, and more, performed in six different languages: English, French, German, Italian, Polish, and Russian.
Drawing on the rich history of art songs, which began in the late 18th century as intimate, home-based performances for voice and piano, this concert will showcase how this genre has grown into a sophisticated art form for the concert stage while still maintaining its intimate charm.
Our performers—Hillary Watkins, Jose Vargas Ramirez, Veronica Samiec, and Nyela Basney—are all connected through their time at the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University, where Nyela Basney currently serves as a member of the Artist Faculty.
We invite you to join us for this special event on Sunday, November 10th, at 3:00 PM at the Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture. Admission is free, and we look forward to sharing the beauty and artistry of song with you.
