Vermont Opera Theater Foliage Art Song


Foliage Art Song — founded by Celina Moore and Joan Stepenske in 1991 and sponsored by Vermont Opera Theater — is a program of master classes and recitals led by internationally acclaimed performers and teachers Dalton Baldwin and Lorraine Nubar. In 2009 Foliage Art Song was held - for the 17th time! - the first weekend in October at the peak (the weather gods permitting) of the beautiful Vermont fall foliage season from which we take our name. As in recent years, all the classes and events took place in Montpelier, the tiny capital of Vermont, so participants were able in-between to stroll about this attractive little town, visit the Farmers' Market, find a meal in one of many good eateries, and generally gawk at the maple leaves like the busloads of tourists. [www.robertlyonsphotography.com] Classes were open to singers at Advanced and Intermediate levels with separate classes with Lorraine Nubar and Dalton Baldwin held concurrently on Friday and Saturday mornings and afternoons. Advanced I singers had two 30 minute sessions with Lorraine Nubar, with optional staff pianist. Advanced II singer-pianist teams could request two sessions (30 minutes each) with Dalton Baldwin and one session with Lorraine Nubar, or the reverse. Singers new to the song recital could apply for Intermediate Level: 30-minute voice lesson and 15-minute Master Class with Lorraine Nubar with staff pianist. Registered auditors and participants were free to observe any of the Master Classes. For further details of the 2009 session and plans for the future, contact us at info@vermontopera.org.
