[Fredslist] Promotional - Bellov sings at the Merchant's House Museum June 24th

[Anthony Bellov]

Most of you don't know that in an earlier incarnation I was a classical 
tenor. I'm happy to formally announce the latest in the "Love in the 
Parlours" music series - - 19th Century salon music performed in the 
landmarked and VERY authentic double parlors of the Merchant's House Museum 
(1832) in Greenwich Village - the only intact family home from the 19th 
Century remaining in Manhattan. www.merchantshouse.org

Originally slated for Sunday, June 10th, the date has been changed to 
Sunday, June 24th - 5:30 pm. Admission is $20, free to museum members.

The program will last about an hour and will feature a variety of selections 
for mezzo soprano, baritone and tenor, including works by Wagner, Sullivan, 
Elgar, Bizet, Rossini, and others. A reception in the period kitchen will 
follow, and as always, all proceeds are slated for the ultimate restoration 
of the original 1844 Nunns & Fischer pianoforte which takes pride of place 
in the Best Parlor.

If you arrive earlier, while the museum's period rooms are still open, you 
may also catch the penultimate day of the special exhibit (May 17 - June 25) 
"From Cradle to Altar: Wearing White in the 19th Century" featuring two 
family wedding gowns from the Museum's renowned costume collection,
one from 1820 and one from 1872, plus additional dresses and related bridal 
accessories (including lingerie and an invitation to the 1872 ceremony). A 
delicately embroidered infant christening gown will also be on view.

I hope you will join me for another memorable evening of music in a unique 
(and very treasured) space. All performances at the Merchant's House Museum 
are sponsored by the Bond Street Euterpean Singing Society.

limited) contact the Merchant's House at 212 777-1089. The Museum is located 
at 29 East Fourth Street, NYC, between The Bowery and Lafayette.
