This autumn, Jennifer Rowley joins forces with pianist Anthony Manoli for a pair of high-profile recital engagements in Texas and North Carolina.
The performances mark a dynamic continuation of their collaborative partnership, following their celebrated appearance in the American Virtuosi Concert Series (“Bohemian Bash with an Italian Twist”) at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center in Fort Myers, Florida, where they presented a curated program of Giacomo Puccini’s art songs and soaring operatic arias. Renowned for her radiant, dramatic vocalism and commanding stage presence on the world’s leading stages, Rowley pairs with Manoli to deliver a wide-ranging program balancing the intimate psychological nuance of the art song repertoire with the vocal brilliance and soaring climaxes of grand Italian opera.
The duo opens their autumn series on Thursday October 29, appearing as headline guest artists for the 76th Texoma Regional National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) Conference at West Texas A&M University in Canyon, Texas.
On Saturday November 7, Rowley and Manoli take the stage at Watson Hall on the campus of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA) in Winston-Salem. Presented as part of Rowley’s Distinguished Guest Artist Residency, the recital serves as a centerpiece of the yearlong 25th anniversary celebration of UNCSA’s prestigious A.J. Fletcher Opera Institute.
