Dec 8 Cyndia Sieden "Star of the Evening" $25 Tickets available at Bayview Optical

The star of the upcoming Classical Tuesdays' Wine & Song Benefit is internationally renowned soprano Cyndia Sieden. Sieden has programmed songs by local composer Gregory Youtz and New York composer John Musto, as well as songs by composers of the late Romantic and early modern eras Richard Strauss and Camille Saint-Saens. Jennifer Bowman will accompany her at the piano.

 Sieden has starred at most of the world's great opera houses, including the Munich Bayerische Staatsoper, the New York Met, Paris's Opéra Bastille, the Wiener Staatsoper, Barcelona's Gran Teatre de Liceu, Brussels's La Monnaie, and London's Covent Garden and English National, as well as in Beijing and Australia. Her highly-praised Metropolitan Opera debut was as Berg's Lulu, and her success quickly led to reengagement in 2008 for Die Zauberflöte's Queen of the Night, one of her signature roles. Sieden is much in demand for Orff's Carmina Burana, the oratorios and masses of Handel, Mozart, and Haydn, and works of Bach, Strauss and Mahler. She has sung with many of the most renowned symphony orchestras in the world

The significant milestone in her studies was work with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf in master classes in Carmel Valley, CA in 1982. Schwarzkopf then invited Sieden to become her private student, and also to work with her in master classes at the 1983 Salzburg Mozarteum. Sieden sang in the culminating concert/competition and won first place, the springboard for her first professional engagements.

Sieden has earned high praise from Arts Critics around the world:

Tacoma Arts blog announces Flamenco Tuesday

A rare opportunity to hear Flamenco at its best!

New post on Tacoma Arts Flamenco Tuesday by Tacoma Arts Join Classical Tuesdays in Old Town for an Evening of Flamenco music and dance! Bring along your family and friends; all ages are welcome. On November 10, Classical Tuesdays in Old Town will feature the great Flamenco artist  Vicente Griego.  Griego, with "his deep, sonorous wails that seem to come from...deep within his soul", is from New Mexico and has devoted his life to the study of cante Flamenco, the art of Flamenco singing. Joining Griego is New Orleans-born guitarist Gerardo Alcalá, one of the few foreigners to be respected as a full-fledged Flamenco artist by the gypsy Flamencos of Andalusia. Marisela Fleites Lear, popular dancer and teacher of Flamenco in the Tacoma area, will translate this intense, passionate music in some traditional Flamenco dances with her proud carriage and expressive use of the arms and rhythmic stamping of the feet. Flamenco, traditional to the southern Andalusia region of Spain, includes cante (singing), toque (guitar playing), baile (dance) and jaleo (vocalizations and rhythmic clapping and finger snapping). Date: Tuesday, November 10, 2015 Time: 7 PM Location: Slavonian Hall, 2306 N. 30th St., Old Town Tacoma Cost: Free, donations appreciated More Information: (253) 752-2135, Facebook event Tacoma Arts | November 3, 2015 at 10:00 am | Tags: Classical Tuesdays, Flamenco, Gerardo Alcalá, Marisela Fleites Lear, Old Town, Vicente Griego | Categories: General | URL: http://wp.me/p1E7Y7-2bm Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from Tacoma Arts.
