Concert: On Toscanini

Join us for a performance by soprano Katherine Whyte and pianist Djordje Nesic, followed by a discussion with exhibiting artists Angel Nevarez and Valerie Tevere. The event will open with an operatic performance celebrating renowned Italian conductor Arturo Toscanini, a former Wave Hill resident who is featured in Nevarez and Tevere’s installation On Toscanini on exhibit in As far as the ear can hear in Glyndor Gallery. Whyte and Nesic’s recital for soprano with piano accompaniment features arias from operas that Toscanini is known to have conducted, including those by Verdi, Puccini and other renowned composers. This performance is followed by a conversation with Nevarez and Tevere to discuss their deep research into Toscanini’s life and work along with the opportunity for audience members to ask questions about their process and practice.
