The Complete Printed Program
www.ithacadance.com/recital/program.pdf
A fun & entertaining hour & 15 min, eighteen song mix of Italian (Neapolitan), German, Spanish, classical, pop, some opera, some folk, a lot of great music that you pretty much never hear in Ithaca, and certainly not by a bass-baritone! Some serious, some lighthearted, and some intense emotional meatgrinders! Fiesta of styles and tone colors! You will be entertained!
Kurt earned his Masters Degree in Music at Ithaca College, M.M. Ed. Voice/Piano, long ago in 1982. Since then he has sung on stage well over a thousand times. And now... he's back, with gratitude to his fabulous vocal coach Imogen Mills (I.C. Music Ed/Voice Class of 2018), and his beloved former I.C. voice teachers Leslie Bennett †, Roland Bentley †.
The reviews are already pouring in from the four performances in November.
"Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful singing voice, musical expertise
and obvious enthusiasm for the pieces you performed."
"It was wonderful!"
"Your program was very diverse and engaging - from the very serious love songs to the rollicking German hiking song, with other humorous and dramatic pieces mixed in."
"It was fun. You are quite an entertainer!"
"A good time was definitely had by all!"
"Thank you for your time and energy and providing us an entertaining evening."
"Everything about tonight was Perfect! You are a fortune cookie!"
