Music Salon @ the cell Presents "Beyond Romance" Song Cycle January 28, 2011

Beyond Romance – A song cycle for male and female voice, and piano. Composer and trumpet player Ben Bierman and collaborator, lyricist Earl Shuman (“Hey There Lonely Girl”), perform a piece of music that explores the emotional lives of a couple in the middle stage of their married life. Beyond Romance , an eclectic work merging an art song sensibility with jazz, Latin jazz, and musical theater, features vocalists Matthew Scott (“Jersey Boys”) & Margaret Dorn (“Iphigenia”) and pianist Jeb Patton. As an added bonus, trumpeter Ben Bierman will also present excerpts from a work in progress – an instrumental song cycle featuring Jeb Patton on piano, Ben Lapidus on guitar/tres, and Emanuel Bierman on percussion.
