It's All About Love!
Need a nudge to get in the spirit of St. Valentine's Day? On Sunday February 10th the At The Parish House performance series of Middleburg's Emmanuel Church will offer love songs old and new to warm our hearts.
Versatile soprano Aani Bourassa will perform a mix of love songs from her classical repertoire (Schubert, Strauss, Barber and Mozart), as well as show tune and modern favorites including My Funny Valentine, I'll Be Seeing You, and If I Loved You from Camelot.
Both a talented singer and actress, Ms. Bourassa has been praised for her emotional depth and "brilliant, yet sparkling high notes." Equally comfortable in recital and concert settings, she regularly performs numerous solos including pieces from Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Bach's Magnificat, Vivaldi's Gloria, Schubert's Mass in G, and Handel's Saul. Her opera repertoire includes arias from Don Giovanni, Cleopatra, Cosi fan tutte, and Romeo et Juliette.
The concert is Sunday, February 10 at 3 p.m. at Emmanuel Episcopal Church's Parish House, 105 East Washington St. in Middleburg. Reservations are recommended but not required (540-687-6297). A donation of $10 is suggested but not required; all are welcome.
