ADORNO Ensemble with

Soprano Lucy Shelton in April

It was a delight for us to work with Lucy Shelton this past April, in which we performed at Santa Clara University, Stanford, and our favorite venue, Varnish Fine Art and Wine Bar. You can hear the Varnish concert on our Gallery Sessions Radio Show. We also spent the week with children shows in which we performed the Ugly Duckling to children in Pacifica and Palo Alto. All of us were extremely impressed and inspired by Lucy's musicianship, integrity, and her warm, embracing personality. In May of 2008, we will premiere a work written for Lucy and ADORNO by composer Gabriela Lena Frank. The work will be song settings of Pablo Neruda to be performed at the San Francisco de Young Museum. We'll also rejoin Dr. John Felstiner (from our Gallery Sessions Radio Show), who is Stanford professor of English and award-winning translator and writer of Pablo Neruda. If you enjoyed our April Radio Show, you'll especially love our up-coming project at de Young which will tie in the museum's ongoing Latin American art exhibit. We look forward to more inspiring performances with Lucy!
