Not gonna write you a love song.....

The last few days I've done some research and I'm starting to sketch some repertoire ideas for my concert for next Valentine's Day.

I've got a few things from opera and music theater in mind for the concert. I've put together a list of a few Faure and Duparc songs that I love which would be appropriate also.

I'm really enjoying my reading and research on the relationship between Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms. I'm really hoping to explore this relationship and together with the lovely Katherine Sandoval Taylor do a set of songs by both composers.

I was wondering if you have any favorite love songs from the art song repertoire that you would love to hear on our concert? Let me know- and please stay tuned over the next year to find out about the many other exciting ways that YOU- the online public- can be part of this project.

I hope everyone on the East coast is surviving the 'blizzard.' Happy Wednesday!
