Masquerading Melodies

Inspired by commedia dell’arte—Italy’s lively tradition of masked theater—this concert features music full of mischief, romance, and playful deception. From masked balls to mistaken identities, composers have long delighted in the drama and comedy of disguise. Join us for a concert of charming tunes and theatrical flair! Performers include Allison Hillier, Chris Neiner, Zach Brandon, and Timothy Culver, professor of voice at Kent State University. Music by Respighi, Paganini, Rachmaninoff, Sibelius, Debussy, and more! Studio Espressivo is Little Italy’s very own concert series.
