Classically-trained tenor/baritone Zoltan Lundy will be joining classically-trained soprano Indre Viskontas and classically-trained pianist, cabaret performer, and composer Allison Lovejoy for an intimate evening of song and music.
The program spans a century of music, beginning with Satie and Fauré, continuing with selections from the cabaret canon, including Kurt Weill, and American composer William Bolcom’s sexy, funny and smart songs, as well as Lovejoy’s own wonderful compositions. A sexy Neapolitan song, a tango, and some Serge Gainsbourg numbers will round out the evening. Beautiful, delightful, and fun music await you, in a really great cozy little listening room. What more do you want?
