Saint Peter reveals that too many tenors and basses are in hell. But because of the Redemption Clause, if the sopranos are able to descend into hell and do a selfless deed, they can bring back to heaven as many tenors and basses as needed. The dilemma of the divas is resolved in the riotous second act of Too Many Sopranos, composed by IU faculty member Edwin Penhorwood in honor of Dean Charles Webb. The two-act comic opera will be done in concert version, with no sets or costumes, on Friday, April 25, at 8 p.m. in Auer Hall. Admission is free.
Admission is free.
Brown will spend her summer recording with the Cincinnati Symphony and Pops, singing at North Carolina's Brevard Music Festival, performing with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and participating in a festival in Italy. They are all part of Melodia's Musical Adventure , an educational music-drama coming to IU's Mathers Museum on Sunday, April 27, at 3 p.m. The program is designed to introduce elementary school children to music from long ago and teach them how music from different times and places is relevant to their own lives. The program was created by Mary Burke and Gus Denhard, and will be directed by Denhard. Admission is free.
