World Premiere of "Yulia", song cycle for soprano and quartet by American composer Emmanuel Dubois, is performed by Yulia Petrachuk. Ms. Petrachuk, a delightful young Russian soprano with a rare bel canto voice, is a storytelling actress with a unique stage presence.

Her program will also include Dubois' "Detour of Love" song cycle for soprano and piano, Tavener's spellbinding "Achmatova Songs" for soprano and cello, as well as song selections by Rachmaninoff. Renowned Italian virtuoso pianist Carlo Pari will accompany and perform selected classical piano solo works by Chopin and Rachmaninoff.
