Collin Whitfield, Organ and Piano, and Erin Whitfield, Soprano

The Art of Performance concert series at First Congregational Church of Saginaw.

A recital for soprano, piano, and organ in two parts: American Classical and the Great American Songbook, with a nod to the Halloween season, and George Gershwin bridging both worlds of American music.

Program Highlights:

• Gershwin’s 3 Preludes for Piano
• Collin’s setting of Margaret Rorke’s Poem, “The Church Organist”
• Vocal solos
  • “Fascinating Rhythm” by the Gershwin brothers
  • “That Old Black Magic” by Arlen and Mercer
  • “Witchcraft” by Coleman and Leigh
  • “Our Love Is Here to Stay” also by the Gershwins

Since moving to mid-Michigan a few years ago, the Whitfields have performed widely and have gathered an enviable reputation for their carefully-planned programs and their superb artistry.
