Music, like a well-chosen costume, has defined character in many memorable stage performances. In this unusual concert, The Phoenix Quartet performs a selection of operetta and art songs by composers including Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and Franz Lehár. A complimentary gallery talk of the Staging Fashion exhibition immediately precedes the concert.


The Phoenix Quartet (Sarah Pillow, soprano; Debra Poulter, mezzo-soprano; David Root, tenor; David Orcutt, baritone; and Richard Pearson Thomas, composer and pianist) specializes in performing music composed or arranged for the vocal quartet.
