Songs of David Alpher

Location:

Skinner Hall of Music

A recital of idiosyncratic songs by David Alpher, exploring his settings of uniquely American poetry from the Transcendentalists to the Beat Generation. Courtenay Budd, soprano, Sharon Harms, soprano, Robert Osborne, bass-baritone, and David Alpher, composer/piano.

“Alpher’s music is all his own, and it is remarkably good. One can view Alpher’s work as an extension of Bernstein’s melodic style; as such, it is remarkably rare.”
Newark Star/Ledger

This event is open to the public.
