Concert by the “Sorelle Belle” vocal trio

The newly formed vocal trio, “Sorelle Belle,” will be performing a concert of trios and duets from opera and musical theater, including scenes from Mozart’s “The Magic Flute,” Bizet’s “Carmen,” Bernstein’s “West Side Story,” and Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess.” The group is comprised of 4 seasoned musicians: soprano Regina Leon, mezzo-sopranos Donna Reid and Antonella Delli Carpini, and pianist Steve Vasta.

The musicians have been friends and colleagues for years and have recently come together to share their love of music in the form of this program. Regina is the musical director of the Briarcliff High School and Middle School musical theater productions. She is a private voice teacher and vocal coach and also teaches at SUNY Purchase. Donna, based in NYC, is a voice teacher and gives master classes all over the world. Bronx native Antonella Delli Carpini is the Director of Choruses for Lakeland Central School District in northern Westchester. She performs in NYC and throughout the tri-state area. Steve, based in NYC, is a seasoned conductor; he has been a Contributing Editor to “Stereophile” and “Listener” magazines, and is currently a regular contributor to “Opera News” and to the acclaimed British classical music site, MusicWeb International (www.musicweb-international.com). Of course, the performers will be using our newly refurbished Steinway.

It is a pleasure for Briarcliff Congregational Church to host this talented group. They invite us to come for a wonderful afternoon of music.
