By Kathleen Kennedy for Red Scarf Society for the Performing Arts
Romanza opens the 2009 Yreka concert season on January 29 in a Red Scarf Society for the Performing Arts event. Comprised of three classically trained young tenors from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada - Romanza bridges the gap between opera and pop with operatic favorites, much-loved ballads and popular folksongs in a performance that is accessible to music lovers of all kinds.
The three: Philip Grant, Todd Jang and Frederik Robert, infuse their performances with camaraderie, intimacy and humor while blending their incredible voices in an enchanting harmony of original arrangements for the contemporary audience.
Philip Grant’s musical career has taken him to Mexico, the United States, Italy, and across Canada. He has performed more than a dozen lead roles on the operatic stage and is known for his exciting rich tone and excellent musicianship.
Todd Jang’s passion for music encompasses not only opera and classical genres, but spans a broad spectrum of styles, including jazz, rock and hip-hop. He sings a Mozart aria with the same commitment and enthusiasm as he does an Elton John ballad.
Frederik Robert is versatile in opera, oratorio, recital work, musical theater, and pop. At only 26 years of age, he has already sung roles in many companies throughout Canada including: Calgary Opera, Prince George Symphony and Canada’s National Arts Symphony Orchestra.
Each, individually, has delighted audiences across North America and Europe and now together as Romanza, they have been winning people’s hearts everywhere they perform.
The RSSPA is pleased to offer this caliber of entertainment that is Romanza, on Thursday, January 29, 7:30pm at the YCT. Tickets, $20 and $4 for students, include the reception to meet the artists after the concert at the Community Theater They are available at: the Yreka Chamber of Commerce office, Surroundings, Nature’s Kitchen, Scott Valley Drug and in Mt.
