We were thrilled to have a full roster of singer for tonight's Salon event! Mark Janas acknowledged the crowd and shared that we had a great executive board meeting recently that will be bringing some exciting changes and update to Salon. More information will be given out in the coming weeks. One big push is that we're actively welcoming new members to Salon, so please invite people you know who might enjoy our open mic with a family feel.
Our producer Tanya Moberly is away directing a sho in LA, so we were honored to have board members Sue Matsuki as our guest producer (and she did a FANTASTIC job keeping the full night of singing running smoothly.)
Our Co-Host was Andrea Bell Wolf, with Matthew Martin Ward on piano! Andrea is a Broadway veteran and has performed on various TV shows like the Ed Sullivan show among others. To start her set, Andrea brought her powerful and sultry alto to the hilarious comedy song, "If." For her mid show set, she started with a sassy tune written for her by the late, great Barry Levitt with lyricist Peter Napolitano - "Prisoner of Love." She followed that with a heartbreaking, "Guess Who I Saw Today?" Then the audience got very quite for her powerful, "Could I Leave You" from Follies. To close the evening, she gave us a song from the Broadway show she's best known for, "So Long Dearie" from Hello, Dolly!
Andrea will be at Don’t Tell Mama – 343 West 46th St, NYC 10036 – with her show PRISONER OF LOVE on February 3rd at 8pm. For more information: www.donttellmamanyc.com
Quick Wrap - Classical Corner
Mark Janas started this week's Classical Corner by playing through a bit of Musetta's famous melody from the opera, La Boheme. He then invited the lovely Shana Farr to join him on the stage to explain the plot and sing the aria. They then moved on to The Merry Widow, with the delicate and beautiful, aria "Vilia." For the last song of Classical Corner, Shana sang a song that was written as a parody of an opera aria from the musical, Candide - the virtuoso "Glitter and Be Gay."
