This Saturday May 12th, from 1-2pm, the Celebration Youth Chorus will perform some choral works composed by Debra Kaye. The venue is the Mannes College of Music Concert Hall, 150 West 85th Street, second floor. Barbara Ames is the director.

Debra writes: "The theme for this spring concert is poetry. The program includes four of my songs, inspired through the years by my students in the Mannes Prep. The styles range from art song to bossa nova."

The texts are "Time to Rise" by Robert Louis Stevenson, "There Was A Little Girl" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "There is No Frigate Like a Book" by Emily Dickinson.
