Harvard Director of Choral Activities, Andrew Clark, offered a warm welcome and thanked the performers for participating in this year's Holden Voice Program Spring Recital

Pianist John Sullivan opened the program with the Prelude and Fugue in E Major, BWV 878 of J.S. Bach before accompanying all the singers.

Paige Newquist performed "Deh vieni, non tardar" from Le nozze di Figaro, K. 492 of W. A. Mozart.

Andrew Hausman presented two pieces from Franz Schubert's Vier Canzonen, D. 688: "Da quel sembiante appresi" and "Mio ben ricordati."

Continuing with the Schubert theme, Ernie Mitchell performed Schubert's "Wehmut," D. 772.

Rounding out the Schubert section, William Horton presented "Staendchen" from Schwanegesang, D. 957 and "Pause" from Die Schoene Muellerin, D. 795.

Returning to the world of opera, Anne Buckle entertained with the "Habanera" from Bizet's Carmen, "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle."

Stephanie Havens wrapped up the program with "Steal me, sweet thief" from Gian Carlo Menotti's opera, The Old Maid and the Thief

Performers received a hearty round of applause for a wonderful afternoon of music.
