Music in the Somerset Hills presents Bass-Baritone Mark Moliterno in Recital

On Sunday, February 16, 2014 at 4:00 pm at Lamington Presbyterian Church in Lamington, NJ, Music in the Somerset Hills will present bass-baritone Mark Moliterno in recital. A celebrated opera singer with over 30 roles in his repertoire, Mr. Moliterno will perform a stunning and eclectic program of music for the male voice, accompanied by Barbara Gonzalez-Palmer at the piano. Tickets are $20 each for adults, $15 for seniors, and $10 for students. They may be purchased online at www.MusicSH.org/concerts, or at the door while supplies last.

In addition to his accomplishments as a vocalist, Mr. Moliterno is a Music in the Somerset Hills faculty member and the founder and developer of YogaVoice, a technique that uses the principles of yoga to promote healthy vocal expression. Net proceeds from the concert directly benefit the many artistic and education programs provided by Music in the Somerset Hills, including its year-long music workshops for people of all ages (such as YogaVoice), and its summer instrumental, vocal and music technology camps for young people.

This program is presented as part of Music in the Somerset Hills’ Community Concerts series. Currently in its third season, the series runs from October through June, and features some of the New York Metropolitan Area's finest professional vocalists, instrumentalists and ensembles performing in beautiful and varied venues throughout the area. Overseen by Artistic Director Stephen Sands, Music in the Somerset Hills was established to provide residents of the Somerset Hills and the surrounding region with an unparalleled variety of opportunities to hear, perform and learn about the world's great classical music. The organization is committed to an exceptional level of historically-informed and masterful performance, as well as to expanding the scope and variety of performance opportunities for professional and amateur musicians who live and work in the region, and creating opportunities for all people to pursue excellent musical education and find fellowship.

Support for the 2012-2013 season of Music in the Somerset Hills is provided, in part, by Peapack-Gladstone Bank and a generous grant from the Isabel and Algernon M. Ellien Foundation. More information may be found at the organization's website: www.MusicSH.org, as well as on its Facebook page.
