Album Notes

"...a masterful job...played with such sensitivity and artfulness. Steven certainly has a brilliant voice." - Mark Hayes, composer & arranger

Tenor Steven Snow is equally at home on the opera and theater stages. He has performed Cavaradossi in "Tosca," Rodolfo in "La Bohéme," Edgardo in "Lucia di Lammermoor," Luigi in "Il Tabarro," and Don Jose in "Carmen" in opera companies around the country. He was a participant in the Israel Vocal Arts Institute in Tel Aviv and in 2003 he made his Carnegie Hall debut singing the tenor solo in Mozart's "Requiem" and "Vesperae Solemnes." Steven toured the U.S. & Canada as Juan Peròn in "Evita" and as Giuseppe in David Bell's "Phantom." A graduate of the Academy of Vocal Arts in Philadelphia, he was the recipient of a Career Development Award from the Recording Industries Music Performance Trust Fund.

Pianist Rosetta Senkus Bacon has performed extensively throughout North America, Europe and Asia with concerts at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, Taipei County Cultural Center in Taiwan, St. Moritz Cultural Center in Switzerland, and Kaunus Philharmonic Hall in Lithuania. A frequent guest at international festivals, Rosetta has served on faculties and performed at "The International Chamber Music Festival" in Taiwan, "International Artists Series" at the Kennedy Center, and "The International School of Performing Arts" in Bucks County, PA. In a lighter vein she was one of the duo-pianists in "Side By Side By Sondheim" starring Arlene Francis and Hermione Gingold. Rosetta is the founding member of the trio "Brass Roots Trio."

Be sure to look for Steven and Rosetta this coming Advent season when they will be appearing throughout the northeastern U.S. with their program "A Promise of Light," which features songs found on this CD!
