-------- Yardley , PA, April 15, 2010

Due to the heavy snowstorm on February 6, the Daphne Alderson Cabaret Program was cancelled.  The new date will be Sunday, May 23 at 7 PM in the Yardley Community Centre.  Tickets bought for the February 6 program will be honored.  For more information about tickets, see below.

Daphne Alderson’s vision is to bring cabaret to people everywhere. Her warm, contralto voice has moved and delighted audiences of all ages.  We invite you to bring people you love to enjoy a wonderful evening.

A warm, radiant performer with a broad repertoire ranging from Irving Berlin to    the French chansons of Edith Piaf and The Life and Music of Oscar Hammerstein II, Daphne paints a rich palette infused with life adventures in a        show that is intimate, funny and often bittersweet. 

Her performances are intimate cabaret shows, where she performs her songs with patter (stories and conversations with the audience).  Her collaborator, John Marcinizyn, is a unique guitarist and, together, their shows flow easily and lovingly.  There will be significant nods to Oscar Hammerstein for this special event.  

Daphne made her celebrated New York cabaret debut performing her show: “Songs & Chansons”.  Since then, she has toured throughout the Northeastern Region in cabaret and classical venues. Ms. Alderson was a featured artist at the Center for American Music and the International Poetry Forum in Pittsburgh. She has recorded American and French song standards for public broadcast on WQED-FM Pittsburgh, and performed at the prestigious Eugene O’Neill Theatre Center in Connecticut.   Ted Sohier, at WQED-FM in Pittsburgh called her voice “enchanting & mesmerizing”.

As Artists in Residence, Ms. Alderson and Mr. Marcinizyn toured Central and Latin Americas and the Caribbean Islands for the University of Virginia Seminar at Sea.   As a concert artist, she has performed in New York at            Avery Fisher Hall and Merkin Hall, The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. and various arts organizations and churches throughout   the United States, Canada, and Italy. She has toured with Chatham Baroque and performed at the Bach Aria Festival in Stonybrook, New York.

Her opera credits include Central City, Pittsburgh Opera, Opera North, Berks Grand Opera and the Opera Theatre of Pittsburgh, among others. Her roles include Hansel, Purcell’s Sorcoress, Nicklausse, Isabella, Rosina, Orfeo,    Lucretia, Suzuki, and Maddalena, as well as various Handelian roles.

For this special BCPAC performance, Daphne will be accompanied by John Marcinizyn, classical guitarist and composer, Douglas Levine, pianist &    musical director, Al Wrublesky, percussion and Paul Thompson, bass. Some of the songs Daphne will sing will include: “Out of My Dreams”, “Bali Hai”, “Happy Talk”, and “Ole Man River”, just to name a few.

Daphne Alderson presently resides in Pittsburgh with her husband, Mr. Marcinizyn, and serves on the music faculty at Seton-Hill University.

Tickets are still available for $15, $12 (seniors) & $8 (students). You can mail your check payable to BCPAC and send along a stamped-self-addressed stamped     envelope and we will return your tickets. Tickets are also available online at their website (www.bcpac.org) or at the Yardley Community Centre prior to each concert.
