Summer Concert - Jenny Lind's America

While her voice was never captured on any recording, the music of 19th century Swedish superstar Jenny Lind still fascinates modern audiences. Soprano and Harpist Zoe Vandermeer and New York pianist/conductor Richard Nechamkin present their delightful program 'Jenny Lind's America', a potpourri of songs and arias sung by Miss Lind on her American Tour 1850-1852. Enjoy music composed for Miss Lind, Welsh triple harp and piano solos featuring music dedicated to Jenny Lind, a rousing 1850 vocal version of the 'Jenny Lind Polka', and the Swedish Nightingale's favorite opera arias. Reception starts 5:30 pm and the concert is 6:30-8:00 pm.
