Below is our full performance of “Suitless in Seatte”, available for free, for your viewing pleasure, forever! It was an amazing experience singing for all of you and feeling the love and support from those who came in person, and watched the livestream. Special thanks to the other singers, Emili Rice, Adrienne LaVey, and Rachael Beaver on cello. As well as Karin Kajita and Chris Powell on piano!
Our Music
Featured is a studio excerpt from our recent session at Jack Straw Cultural Center in Seattle, serving as a preview of Bel Canto Seattle’s recording project with pianist Karin Kajita, cellist Roberta Downey of Seattle Symphony fame, and tenor John Costello. This collaboration features original arrangements by Connor Wier. The pieces are arranged for tenor, piano, and cello. The pieces featured are: Cielo e mar! by Amilcare Ponchielli, and Vainement, ma bien-aimée by Édouard Lalo.
We are grateful to have had Emili Rice participate in Bel Canto Seattle! Below is an excerpt from “Oh, quante volte” from a December studio session. She sounds so human and haunting! She also sang this piece in our first show!
