The Choir of St. Mark’s, New Canaan, includes professional singers who are among the finest soloists in our corner of New England. They are heard regularly during services and concerts of sacred music at St. Mark’s, and they also excel in many other types of solo singing. This recital is a collection of vocal solos, many of which you will not hear in church!

The recital features Mary Petro Noonan, soprano; Lydia Cseh Dahling, mezzo-soprano; Trevor Scott & Jonathon Moon, tenors; and Matthew Dexter, bass; accompanied by Ned Tipton (Director of Music Ministries at St. Mark’s) at the piano, and Dylan Sauerwald on the harpsichord.

They will present a FUN array of music ranging from the Italian and English Renaissance to recent Broadway shows, passing through Bach, Handel, Offenbach, Tchaikovsky, Rogers & Hammerstein, Lerner & Lowe, John Musto, Samuel Barber – with a side trip across to popular French cabaret tunes of the early 20th century – Leonard Berstein and … Sting!

The event is followed by a light reception.
