From Opera to Opry - Brenda Roberts and Friends

I am singing a benefit at the Lowell Indiana Methodist Church on July 31, 2011 at 3 p.m.  This event is planned and hosted by friends of mine, Jim Kirk and Peggy Hendricks, and will include opera arias sung by me, then sacred songs and, after the intermission, a country music session.  Indeed we are all performing at least 2 hours of music from opera through sacred to country music.  Please look at the beautiful poster that my son, Mark Roberts, created.  The title is From Opera to Opry.

I will sing “Vissi d’arte” from Tosca, “La mamma morta” from Andrea Chenier, “Suicidio” from La Gioconda, and “Dich theure Halle” from Tannhaeuser.  Among other selections that I will sing are “How Great Thou Art”, “Battle Hymn of the Republic”, Dolly Parton’s song “I will always love you” and “One Way Wind”.

I am really having a great time with my friends, who are all fantastic musicians, putting together this event and this is all as a benefit for the church.  If anyone is in the area, please come and have a great time with us!
