The Arts Council continues its 'Broadway month' with a rare evening with Roanoke Symphony's Maestro David Wiley and two soprano sisters in a concert titled, Broadway and Beyond. The performance is slated for Friday, January 30 at 7:30 pm in Curfman Hall at Covington High School.
The night of music features soprano soloists Adelaide Muir Trombetta and Wendy Muir. Maestro Wiley will be at the piano with Tracy Cowden on bass. This high-energy program takes you to Broadway and beyond with the spectacular voices, infectious personalities, and fast-paced song and tap routines of sisters Adelaide and Wendy. Hear favorites from Wicked, Spamalot, West Side Story, Peter Pan, Into the Woods, and The Great American Songbook.
The New York Times called Adelaide Muir Trombetta “sensitive and affecting” during her performance as a National Finalist of the renowned Metropolitan Opera National Counsel Auditions. During her time at Yale University she performed leading concert and stage roles. Adelaide has been featured on NBC's Good Morning America and in Classical Singer Magazine and Opera News. In September 2011 she was invited to present a solo recital at The University of Utah and appear as the soprano soloist for the Messiah and as the featured soloist for the Holiday Pops Concert with the Roanoke Symphony. She regularly visits Italy to maintain a modern concept of the Bel Canto style and Italian language for opera. She is an Assistant Professor of Voice at Liberty University and resides with her husband in Lynchburg, VA.
Wendy Muir graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne. She's performed with the Ohio Light Opera, Stiletto Entertainment, Music by the Lake and the National Tour of "Sweeney Todd". Wendy has been a finalist in the Americas Tradition Competition and been recognized by the National Foundation for the Advancement for the Arts.
