Songs for My Brother

Come hear mezzo soprano Leonarda Priore and special guest artists in a program of operatic exceprts and musical theater songs. Included in the first half are “Voi lo sapete” (Cavalleria Rusticana), the Flower Duet from Madama Butterfly, “Condotta ell’era in ceppi” (Il Trovatore) and “Mon coeur s’ouvre à ta voix” (Samson et Dalila).  The second half features an eclectic mix of favorite musical theater pieces. The concert is dedicated to Ms. Priore’s brother, Nicholas S. Priore, Esq, who passed away suddenly in December 2007.   The program’s music had special meaning for her brother who in addition to being a busy practicing attorney, was an active singer in their hometown of Utica, NY.
