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.
