Join us on Saturday evening, Oct 21 at National Opera Center/Opera America in New York City, for a FREE concert featuring international artists Jeremy Huw Williams, baritone, and Paula Fan, piano. Featured songs and arias include music of Barbara Jazwinski, Beth Wiemann, Darleen Mitchell, Roger Vogel, Gheoghe Costinescu, Brian Schober and Michael Dellaira. Poetry and text settings are drawn from a variety of sources - Sophocles, Hilda Doolittle, Richard Howard, Goethe, Micki LeMieux, and Amaut de Mareuil.
The Welsh baritone Jeremy Huw Williams studied at St John's College, Cambridge, at the National Opera Studio, and with April Cantelo. He made his debut with WNO as Guglielmo (Così fan tutte) and has since appeared in more than sixty operatic roles.
Williams has given performances at major venues in North and South America, Australia, China, Hong Kong, and most European countries. Pianist Paula Fan has performed on five continents as soloist and chamber musician, recorded over twenty commercial albums, and has broadcast for the BBC, NPR, Radio Television China, and international stations from Bosnia to Australia.
