Musical Masterworks Opens their 34th Season featuring Operatic Vocalists

09/03/24

Musical Masterworks is pleased to announce its 34th Season at the First Congregational Church of Old Lyme with their opening concert weekend October 12 and 13, 2024 featuring violinist Tessa Lark in her third year as Artistic Director.

This year’s season opener circles back to the operatic seedlings of Musical Masterworks, featuring beloved arias and two of the greatest young vocalists of today: soprano Marquita Richardson and mezzo soprano Sarah Saturnino. After his rousing MMModern performance in March 2024, bassist and tenor Nathan Farrington makes his mainstage debut alongside Marquita, Sarah, along with Artistic Director Tessa Lark and pianist-composer phenom Roman Rabinovich, to present operatic selections and newer favorites that Nathan has arranged specially for our series.

“This year I wanted to pay homage to how this wonderful organization began: Alden Murphy, our beloved Board President, and her husband, Jamie, called on their musical circle of friends, including John Hargraves and David Dangremond, to create a full-scale production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera, The Mikado. It was a resounding success, and it was clear that Old Lyme wanted more.” said Tessa Lark.

Musical Masterworks 34th season runs from October 2024 – April 2025 at the First Congregational Church of Old Lyme at 4 Lyme Street.  To purchase subscriptions ($175 each), mini-subscriptions ($115 each), individual tickets ($45 each), or student tickets ($5 each).
