Georgia Stitt Reunites With Kate Baldwin to Perform Alphabet City Cycle at SubCulture

On March 9, composer Georgia Stitt reunites with Tony-nominated soprano Kate Baldwin (John and Jen) and violinist Victoria Paterson at SubCulture to perform Alphabet City Cycle. Originally recorded by the trio in 2009, the song cycle features lyrics by Marcy Heisler and is composed of five songs about women alone in New York City.

The program will also include the world premiere of two songs that Stitt composed for soprano Rebecca Luker (Cinderella), with performances by Bradley Dean (Doctor Zhivago) and Andréa Burns (In the Heights) of song settings of poems by Christina Rossetti, Derek Walcott, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Shakespeare, and Henry William Hutchinson. A song Stitt wrote with poet Howard Schwartz for her wedding to composer Jason Robert Brown will also join the lineup, along with the very first two art songs she ever wrote (with texts by William Blake and William Wordsworth), performed by Kevin Simmonds, who premiered them nearly 20 years ago.

Stitt will accompany on piano, with Paterson on violin and Mairi Dorman-Phaneuf on cello.

Her husband, three-time Tony winner Jason Robert Brown, will return to SubCulture later that month, for a March 13 show. Guest artists will be announced at a later date.
