Eastman Showcase 2006
The Song Continues
The Marilyn Horne Foundation was launched in 1994 on the beloved singer’s 60th birthday, to "encourage young talent and nurture audiences for the art of the vocal recital." Over the years, the Foundation has been very successful in this ambition — and Eastman students and alumni have contributed to its success, as a regular part of the Horne Foundation’s concerts and master classes.
For example, five Eastman alumni and current students are taking part in The Song Continues, to be presented by the Horne Foundation at Carnegie Hall from January 24-27, 2006. And so, by extension, is a beloved Eastman voice teacher: all five are current or former students of Professor of Voice John Maloy, an Eastman faculty member since 1966 and chair of the voice department from 1977-2002.
A January 25 master class with tenor Robert White will include current Maloy students Marc Webster, bass, and (as an alternate) tenor Jonathan Michie. Baritone Ian Greenlaw (BM ’95) takes part in an evening recital on January 25, and the festival’s concluding recital on January 27, "Americans in Paris," will include soprano Nicole Cabell (BM ’01) — winner of the Cardiff Singer of the World competition in summer 2005 - and baritone Nathaniel Webster (BM ’97).
