“Some say to play at Carnegie Hall is the musical equivalent of being at the Super Bowl,” said conductor David Booth.
The ensemble performed three pieces: “Aspen Jubilee,” by composer Ron Nelson; “Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral,” a transcription of a segment from Richard Wagner’s opera Lohengrin; and “Words of Love” by composer James Mobberley.
Soprano Diana Cataldi, adjunct instructor of music, was the featured soloist in two of the pieces.
“I believe all of us felt our hearts pounding with the awe-inspiring thrill of stepping out onto that famous stage for our performance,” Cataldi said.
“It was a dream come true, an opportunity of a lifetime, and a memory I know each of us will cherish as a highlight in our musical careers.” DIANA BLOWERS, CONTRIBUTING WRITER
