The young and very talented Tenor William Strom, known for his roles in recent years with Undercroft Opera, was featured in Bring Him Home from Les Misérables and the opera aria Amor ti vieta from Fedora.
Popular favorites Kathy Soroka performed included Allegheny Moon, Blue Moon, Time to Say Goodbye, The Prayer, You’ll Never Walk Alone from Carousel, and Moonfall from The Mystery of Edwin Drood; from the sacred music repertoire, Ave Maria and The Lord’s Prayer; and Song to the Moon from the opera, Rusalka.

Richard Strauss’ Morgen, and Beim Schlafengehen from his Four Last Songs, Dvorak’s Songs My Mother Taught Me including the virtuosic Fritz Kreisler Gypsy Melodies transcription, and Jose Maria Cano’s haunting Epilogo from the opera Luna.
