A Salon Concert

This evening David and I attended a vocal concert in the home of Carolyn and Peter Pereira here in Kenwood.

The performers were the Fourth Coast Ensemble, a group of four young singers and pianist. The singers were Karen Ann Baron, soprano, Bridget Skaggs, mezzo-soprano, Zachery Vanderburg, tenor, and Michael Hawes, bass-baritone. The pianist was Mark Bilyeu.

Young, bright voices all, they sang musically and presented an interesting program with works by Lili Boulanger, Johannes Brahms, Franz Schubert, Jules Massenet, and a group by living American composers.

The group performs throughout the Chicago area and has another concert scheduled next week.

We enjoyed hearing these fine young singers in a very interesting program.
