It was more than an Emily Dickinson concert, it was an experience! Jessica Castro as Emily Dickinson read poems, and music by Richard Russell, Raphael Fusco, and Robert Butts provided "a little madness in the spring" last week at the Bell and Barter Theater in Rockaway, NJ. Maestro Butts was the afternoon's conductor.
Soprano Marjorie Berg sang my "The Tune is in the Tree" in a special chamber music arrangement, and soprano Pamela Stein sang "When Time is Over." Aaron Dai was the day's accompanist. A fantastic reception followed, and we are all looking to our July 25 concert, "Songs of a Sultry Summer." For more details on that concert (and more pics), go to
In Mid Air Productions. For now, here are several pics from the Emily Dickinson concert. (Click to enlarge.)
