Freaney & FRIENDS
presents
San Diego Chamber Music Society
with
Therese Bulat – soprano
Bruce Dorcy – horn
Beverly Reese Dorcy – piano
Tue, April 22, 1 PM
PROGRAM:
“From Beethoven to Broadway”, featuring selections from famous composers of the past; Beethoven, Strauss, Mendelssohn and 20th century American composers like Burt Bacharach, Mitch Leigh, Jerry Bock and Henry Mancini plus a performance of Franz Schubert’s “Auf dem Strom” for soprano, horn and piano featuring north county soprano Therese Bulat. This is a light-hearted look at some of our most requested pieces from over 25 years of horn-piano concerts; there is something here for everyone to enjoy. Since 2010 we have performed this program over 130 times at libraries and senior/community centers from San Diego to San Francisco and Seattle.
The performers are Therese Bulat- soprano, Bruce Dorcy- horn and Beverly Reese Dorcy- piano. As usual, Bruce will MC the event and announce to program live. There will be an interesting dialogue about the pieces and the composers and an amusing anecdote or two.

She has performed solo recitals at the Coronado Library, Oceanside Museum of Art, Pasadena City College and Palm Springs Unitarian Fellowship.
