This performance is dedicated to all versions of Mothers. Mothers make the world go round and the music and lyrics selected today reflect facets of this notion. The songs are taken from an eclectic array of musical theater repertoire, ranging from Golden Age through Contemporary, with a small mix of Art Song as well. May the sentiments expressed through this timeless music conjure shared gratitude and memories of whatever the concept of “Mother” means to each listener.
