L'April Concertante

What: The York College Chamber Music Series is pleased to present L'April Concertante. Hailed by the New York Times as a “flash of beauty and inspiration”, Dr. April Lynn James is a lyric mezzo-soprano with a PhD in Music from Harvard University. Her exhibit for the Loeb Music Library, In Her Own Hand: Operas Composed by Women 1625–1913, was the first in an American library on this subject. She specializes in 18th-century music, and spent a year in Germany, courtesy of a DAAD Annual Grant, researching the music and life of Maria Antonia, Electress of Saxony. In addition to the article in the Times, articles featuring her have appeared in the New York Daily News, Time Out New York and other publications.
