An evening of American classics sung by world-famous soprano Barbara Quintiliani. She’s described as a “real dramatic soprano with a fiery timbre” in “Opera News.” Ms. Quintiliani has received many honors, and is an alumna of the Marilyn Horne Foundation. Ms. Horne herself saw to Ms. Quintiliani’s development as a recital artist, and under the auspices of her foundation, Ms. Quintiliani made her Weill Recital Hall debut in the “As the Song Continues” series in New York. She was broadcast nationally in recital by WQXR and NPR stations as a part of the “On Wings of Song” series. She has performed in many music festivals and under the batons of great conductors, including David Agler, Stephen Lord, Alan Gilbert, Claire Gibault, Valery Gergiev, and JoAnn Falletta. Ms. Quintiliani can be heard on these recordings: “The Pleasure Dome of Kubla Kahn” and “Becoming a Redwood.”
