Wednesday’s Little Lunch Music concert for Wolf Trap Foundation employees featured four of our Studio Artists. In a preview of next month’s Aria Jukebox concert format, the audience chose the selections. Thanks to mezzo-soprano Aleksandra Romano, baritone Brian Vu, soprano Courtney Johnson and tenor Yoni Rose for some amazing midday music. (See below the photo for a list of their offerings. Audience selections are in bold.) The concert ended with the sumptuous Vitellia/Annio duet from Mozart’s La clemenza di Tito sung by Aleks and Courtney – a preview of the July Studio Spotlight event.
