Eric Owens, bass/baritone: An Evening of Standards
Acclaimed for his commanding stage presence and inventive artistry, American bass-baritone Eric Owens has carved a unique place in the contemporary opera world as both an esteemed interpreter of classic works and a champion of new music. Equally at home in concert, recital and opera performances, Owens continues to bring his powerful poise, expansive voice and instinctive acting faculties to stages around the world.

The Randy Ingram Trio
Originally from Laguna Beach, CA, and a recipient of the 2007 ASCAP Young Jazz Composer's award, Randy Ingram has received scholarships to the University of Southern California (where he apprenticed with Tierney Sutton, Joe LaBarbera and the great Billy Higgins), and the New England Conservatory, where he studied with his two mentors, Fred Hersch and Danilo Perez, and received his Masters. Ingram moved to Brooklyn in the Fall of 2003 and has since become a much in demand sideman and a creative force on the scene, working with Ben Monder, Joel Frahm, Joe Locke, Mike Moreno, Kendrick Scott and many others. These artists’ compositional influence is evident on Ingram’s “Dream Song”, which is meant to evoke surrealism and the nocturnal side of NYC, musically speaking”, said the pianist.
