I HATE AND I LOVE

Dominick Argento’s graphic I Hate and I Love, based on poems by Catullus; Leonard Bernstein’s inimitable Missa Brevis, adapted from his score for Jean Anouilh’s The Lark; and Luigi Dallapiccola’s anti-fascist Canti de prigionia, which calls for drums, two pianos and harps, all feature the unusual and stirring combination of chorus and percussion. Don’t miss this exciting evening of some of the most intensely passionate choral music of the 20th century.

Program notes available here.

Tickets: $25 Door ($15 Student/Senior with proper ID)

Dessoff Benefit A Rousing Success!

Dessoff's Annual Benefit was held on the evening of April 9, 2008, at Symphony Space's Leonard Nimoy Thalia, and by all accounts, it was a smash!

Congratulations and thanks to all who played a part, large or small, in the rousing success of last week’s benefit event. It was very gratifying for us to have hosted an event that managed to be successful on all fronts – all were well-fed and marvelously entertained, many bidders went home with fabulous items, and Dessoff’s coffers were filled! Special thanks to our gracious and charming guest, Dominic Chianese.
