Serenata with Krista River

Debbie performed with Serenata on February 6th in a chamber music program that featured mezzo-soprano Krista River. Krista's lyric mezzo was lovely in songs from Beethoven's Four Ariettas and Brahms' Zwei Gesange. The program had an unusual offering of oboe and voice, from Ralph Vaughn Williams' Ten Blake Songs. It was a wonderful pairing, with Pamela Epple playing oboe. River's rendering of Noel Coward's If Love Were All and A Bar on the Piccola Marina was a real crowd pleaser! Debbie and Krista's photo appeared the following day in the local paper....at a restaurant cheering on the Green Bay Packers in the Superbowl!
