Stuart Graham - Founder/Artistic Director

The artists and programming have been selected and we are thrilled to announce the upcoming The Art of Song: recital series (edition 2008).  The format has shifted a bit from last season’s experience as this year we are presenting only three solo recitals and bringing in larger ensemble efforts with our Easter concert of Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater (March 12, 2008) and finishing the year with 4 performances (May 23, 25, 28, 30, 2008) of Verdi’s Un Ballo in Maschera (concert format).  Our 2008 season begins on Wednesday, February 13, 2008 with the luscious talents of coloratura soprano Jennifer Rasor. Ms. Rasor is an alumnist of L’Opéra de Montréal’s Atelier Lyrique and has graced many operatic stages with acclaim in Canada and Europe. Highlights in her program include song of Jean Coulthard, Edvard Grieg and Aaron Copland’s Twelve Poems of Emily Dickinson.  Our second solo program takes place on Wednesday, April 5, 2008 presenting myself, baritone Stuart Graham, along with pianist Dr. Christopher Foley and the Atelier S chorus, presenting Ravel’s Don Quichotte à Dulcinée, Vaughan Williams’ Five Mystical Songs and Act II, sc ii of Wagner’s Die Walküre.  Our third solo offering presents the most promising talent of mezzo-soprano Liliana Piazza on April 30, 2008.  Currently in her first year of study of a Master’s in Vocal Performance at Montreal’s McGill University she is no stranger to the Toronto stages and has sung to critical acclaim most notably with Toronto’s Opera in Concert.  Highlights in her program include songs of Sergei Rachmaninoff, Brahms and Barber.
