"The New York Festival of Song (NYFOS) was founded in 1988 by its
co-artistic directors, Michael Barrett and Steven Blier. With a
far-ranging repertoire of art songs, concert works and theater pieces,
its thematic recitals have included programs from Brahms to the
Beatles, from Russian art song to Argentine tangos, from
sixteenth-century lute songs to new music. Over the years, NYFOS has
particularly stressed the importance of American song by exploring our
country's rich musical traditions," states the organization's website.Visit www.nyfos.org for more information on the New York Festival of Song.
