Sarah Chalfy and Michael Sheppard (BM ’98, MM ’00, GPD ’03, Piano) perform as part of the Spire Series in a program that spans generations and continents, weaving together songs from a colorful array of composers. A typical program features European classical composers such as Franz Schubert, Francis Poulenc, and Robert Schumann, American composers such as Cole Porter, Virgil Thompson, and Stephen Sondheim, and popular composers/artists including Joni Mitchell, Billy Strayhorn, and Pink Martini. Jason Kissel (DMA ’07, Organ) is the artistic director of The Spire Series.
