SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2021
7:30PM EST
Recital will be live-streamed via YouTube. Please join Colin and Jim in a post-recital reception by Zoom.
ABOUT THE RECITAL, PERFORMERS, and BLUME HAITI:
Trinity Episcopal Church, Swarthmore, will present tenor Colin Doyle and pianist James Smith in recital at 7:30 PM EST on Sunday evening, November 28, at Trinity Church. The program will be given both live and over YouTube to benefit BLUME Haiti, a non-profit that seeks to develop young leaders in that country through music education. Visit Blume Haiti to learn more about their music mission in Haiti.
In its ten years of existence BLUME has provided support and staff to music schools throughout Haiti. The organization’s needs are particularly great at this moment, since many institutions have been damaged by the recent earthquake in the southern part of the country. Political instability has made life next to impossible for many music schools and students, and BLUME has even extended its mission by providing for the day to day needs of many of the thousands of students whose lives the program has touched.
The November 28th recital will include works by Donaudy, Richard Strauss and Benjamin Britten. The centerpiece of the recital will be Franz Liszt’s Three Petrarch Sonnets, a work calling for virtuosity and passion from both the singer and the pianist.
The suggested donation for the recital is $20, but larger donations (or smaller ones) are of course welcome. Donate by PayPal or by check, made payable to Trinity Church, Swarthmore with the memorandum BLUME, see mailing address below.
Colin Doyle is a graduate of Oberlin Conservatory and the University of Maryland. He has performed widely in the Philadelphia area and has most recently sung the role of Tamino in Mozart’s The Magic Flute in Washington DC. James Smith is Director of Music at Trinity Church in Swarthmore. His connection to music education in Haiti dates back to the ten years he spent as a musician and teacher in that country. We hope that you will join us for an hour of beautiful music for a worthy and pressing cause.
