Joy In Singing Presents Soprano Marie Marquis, Monday November 28 at 7 PM

Hailed by the New York Times for her "extraordinary virtuosity and elegance," emerging soprano Marie Marquis is an artist who always seeks to marry text with exquisite musical line. An avid interpreter of new and traditional music, Marie has already made notable appearances at the Aspen Music Festival; Tanglewood Music Center; Songfest at Colburn and with Opera Louisiane, Baton Rouge; the Natchez Festival, Mississippi and Heartbeat Opera in New York.

Her partner for the evening, Jason Wirth, was educated at Mannes and the Yale School of Music, Jason resides in New York and is a much sought-after collaborative pianist. "Jason WIrth [spun] a gossamer web of unusual sounds on the piano," notedThe New York Times.

The early curtain 7 PM concert happens November 28 at Merkin Concert Hall, 129 W. 67th Street. A lite supper and champagne reception follows. Be there as these two promising young artists collaborate on a stimulating evening of song featuring works by Poulenc, Argento, Killmayer and Rachmaninoff.
