A concert of American hymns, anthems and vintage songs of faith presented by professional opera singer John Davies and members of his family. Musical selections will range from well-known favorites to lesser-known songs, hymns and ensembles. “How Can I Keep from Singing?” is a family concert celebrating a remarkable tradition of praise and worship through song. In keeping with that tradition, we’ll conclude our concert with an old-fashioned hymn sing.
John Davies is a ubiquitous presence on operatic stages across the United States, esteemed for his insightful and individual interpretations of the basso buffo roles of Donizetti, Mozart and Rossini and his accomplished characterizations in the operettas of Strauss and Sullivan, as well as his remarkable forays into the more dramatic works of Beethoven, Menotti and Floyd.
