IN REAL LIFE - Valentine's weekend world premiere to celebrate our 35th season

Presented by Austin Chamber Ensemble at Westlake United Methodist Church

What are you doing Valentine’s Weekend? Bring your date (or meet someone at the concert!) to the world premiere of a song cycle about online dating!

In Real Life will feature Mela Sarajane Dailey, Soprano and Martha M. Ahern, Pianist, presenting a world premiere of commissioned song cycle for soprano and piano by Grammy – ballot composer Robert Paterson and lyricist David Cote. “In Real Life” is about online dating as experienced by five extraordinary women: often humorous, sometimes heart-breaking.  Additional selections to fit the theme for Valentine’s Day will be presented by Scott Wallace, Crystal Paull, and others who are featured soloists with KMFA FM ‘Icons of Broadway’ program. 

Grammy-Ballot Composer Robert Paterson and David Cote, lyricist, developed this piece specifically for Austin Chamber Ensemble’s 35th Season and for Artistic Director & Pianist, Martha Mortensen Ahern and Mela Sarajane Dailey, soprano.  At the end of the concert, audiences will have a chance to hear Paterson, Cote and the artists discuss the evolution of this work.
