Vocal Arts and Music Festival, Grand Finale: Russian-French Connections

With the International Vocal Arts Institute founders Joan Dornemann and Paul Nadler of the Metropolitan Opera, the festival unites opera's rising stars with legendary coaches and outstanding instrumentalists for two weeks of events. 

The 2012 festival closes in grand style with a focus on international artistry from the perspective of both French and Russian composers, those who influenced one another across boundaries of place and nationality. This fascinating program draws on music from Borodin, Debussy, Fauré, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, and others.
