]]> On February 20 at 3pm at the Bell and Barter Theater in Rockaway, New Jersey, Richard D. Russell will premiere several new pieces: “Three Partings” with texts by Lord Byron, “Are You Digging on My Grave?” based on Thomas Hardy’s humorous poem, and “Amid the Blinding Snow” based on a poem by Elisabeth Sidwell. The concert is being presented by In Mid Air Productions.
From the press release: “In February we think of of Valentine’s Day, with its celebration of flirtation, love, and romance. But it is also a cold, barren time, and so In Mid Air Productions offers up a twist, paying tribute to love gone wrong in ¬†“Amid the Blinding Snow.”
The concert will also feature music by Robert Butts and Kevin McCarter.
