Mezzo-soprano Kara Dugan, baritone John Brancy, Grammy Award-winning clarinetist Mark Dover in his NYFOS debut, and pianist Peter Dugan join NYFOS’s Steven Blier for a new program that explores the mysteries of the forest, the ocean, and the skies, with songs by Mendelssohn, Schumann, Grieg, Sibelius, and many others.
“I don’t dazzle easily,” said Steven Blier, “but I am extremely dazzled by Peter Dugan’s musicianship, imagination, and virtuosity at the piano. Collaborating with him is always a wild ride, and I am thrilled to welcome him back to NYFOS for a program of songs about other worlds—fantasy is one of Peter’s many areas of expertise. With him comes a pair of players beloved to NYFOS audiences: that force of nature known as John Brancy and the exquisite Kara Dugan, as well as a world-renowned clarinetist, Mark Dover, who will be making his NYFOS debut that night.”
