LOVE AFFAIRS Concert Set for National Opera Center Tonight

Love Affairs, is a concert of new vocal music by New York Composers, Clint Borzoni and Philip Wharton.

Soprano Caroline Worra, baritone Michael Weyandt, and pianists Jennifer Peterson and Lloyd Arriola will perform a recital of music on the different guises of love: love of self, love of money, lust, and dealing with lost loves.

Love Affairs will be performed one night only at 7:30 PM tonight, March 28, 2015 in the Recital Hall at The National Opera Center, 330 Seventh Avenue, NYC.

The concert will present two world premieres: a song by Borzoni based on the current Barihunk craze and a song-cycle, Blooms Remembered (Sandburg), by Wharton.

On sale in advance at PurplePass, www.purplepass.com/loveaffairs, tickets are $20 and include a reception following the concert.

Clint Borzoni is an award winning composer, and alumnus of programs from American Opera Projects, the American Lyric Theater, and was recently chosen as one of the composers for Fort Worth Opera's Frontiers 2015 Showcase.

Philip Wharton has worked with Santa Fe Opera's apprentice program. Grammy-nominated Borealis Wind Quintet frequently performs his quintet. Recently Albany Records released a recording of his flute sonata (TROY 1533).

Soprano Caroline Worra has sung more than 75 different operatic roles including over 20 regional and world premieres at over 30 national and international opera companies, and has been hailed by Opera News as "one of the finest singing actresses around."

Lyric baritone Michael Weyandt continues to engage audiences with his "virile, ardent" singing and "notable characterizations" (New York Times) in an increasingly diverse repertoire.

Conductor Jennifer Peterson is the director of operamission, an arts organization founded in February 2009.
