"A Poe Fantasia" premieres

I had been battling a cold (or something) all week, but I couldn't miss the premiere of my new composition, "A Poe Fantasia" this past Tuesday, Feb 2, 2010. Soprano Sofia Dimitrova and accompanist Catherine Miller provided a compelling interpretation to my settings of the great poet Edgar Allan Poe: A Dream Within a Dream, To the River, and Alone. Here are some pics from the evening; the venue was Saint Peters Church at the Citigroup Center. (Click on pics for larger size.)
