The Jansen Art Center is pleased to present the first Firefly Classics concert of the season featuring Soprano Ibidunni Ojikutu and Pianist Rebecca Jordan Mañalac on Saturday, February 4, 2017 at 7:30 p.m. The Firefly Classics series features classical music performances held in the beautiful Chamber Hall, which seats 100 people and features a Schimmel concert grand piano, providing an intimate setting for the community to engage in live music experiences.
Ojikutu and Mañalac collaborate to present “Songs From the American Experience.” This multi-faceted program celebrates the music of American composers, featuring Samuel Barber, George Gershwin, Moses Hogan, Nkeiru Okoye, Rogers & Hammerstein, and more.
New works join old favorites, opera mingles with jazz, and spirituals meet musicals in a journey that takes us from Appalachia to the Midwest, from the deep South to Philadelphia. These songs express the hopes and fears, loves and labors of a diverse people coming together to build a country that can be home for all.
Tickets for this concert are $25 and can be purchased at the Gallery Shop at the Jansen Art Center or online at www.jansenartcenter.org. Firefly Classics 3-Concert Series tickets for the are available for $65.
