violin/piano concert: six decades of Tony-winning musicals
You may remember three years ago I took part in a Lenten violin/piano concert at my church ("Hosanna!"). Amy King and I are teaming up again in a program for the Elyria Musical Art Society. It takes place this Tuesday (March 17), 7:30 p.m. at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Elyria. There is no admission charge and it's open to the public.
I've chosen songs from Broadway shows that won the Tony Award for Best Musical and Best Original Score in 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000. As it happens, City of Angels won in 1990, so I'll get to plug my show at the same time. :)
The program includes
- Some Enchanted Evening (1950 - South Pacific)
- My Favorite Things (1960 - The Sound of Music)
- Applause (1970 - Applause)
- High Flying, Adored (1980 - Evita)
- Rainbow High (1980 - Evita)
- The Tennis Song (1990 - City of Angels)
- You Can Always Count On Me (1990 - City of Angels)
- Written in the Stars (2000 - Aida)
and... just because it's my favorite musical of all time and the song makes for a nice closer... - Prologue from Ragtime (1998).

Sounds like a great set list. Unfortunately I'll be trapped in biology learning even more about just how boring plants are. :) You and Amy made a nice duet at the lenten concert (3 years ago already?!?), I am sure this performance will be just as fabulous.
Yep, 3 years ago, the day after Chloe was born. :)
