LIBRARY TO HOST MONTHLY PROGRAM ON OPERA

The Tompkins County Public Library invites opera enthusiasts to join monthly meetings of the Bel Canto Society of Ithaca for informal presentations of recorded, historical operatic performances and lively discussions.

This group, led by veteran vocal instructor Tom MacDonald, will meet on the second Tuesday of each month, beginning January 12, at 6:00 PM in the BorgWarner Community Room East.

The topic of the first meeting will be "Voices and Voices In Between," and will highlight the various voice types of opera singers. This is a two-part discussion, with the first portion focusing on male voice types.

MacDonald has studied and taught voice in the United States and abroad and was a member of the Bloomsbury Recorded Vocal Arts Society of London.

Bel Canto programs are free and open to the public. For more information, contact Carrie Wheeler-Carmenatty at (607) 272-4557 extension 248.
