The concert is an evening of entirely new vocal works commissioned by OperaRox Productions and performed by OperaRox Young Artists; it is presented as part of the New York Opera Fest. There will be excerpts from The Contract Player, an opera in progress by Price Walden and Lane Williamson, as well as works by a group of other emerging composers. We have paired each composer (except Price Walden) with a single performer with the intention of fostering artistic connections and honing collaborative skills.
