Launching the "Boys"

Steve Blier is back, working with his largest Wolf Trap recital cast ever – 6 singers. Today is a landmark birthday for one of our folks, and we had a little celebration. August fatigue is setting in all around, but Steve infused us with some new energy and adrenaline.

Some cutting edge subject material in this program (“Where the Boys Are”). A little anxiety about how the audience will receive it. Admittedly, Northern Virginia is a bit more conservative than New York City. Somehow I’m not worried. Maybe I’m naïve, but Steve has built such a wonderful rapport and trust with our audience that I believe they’d accept almost anything he has the generosity to offer.
