Bill Adams, music and theatre program director in the Department of Communicaiton, Media, and the Arts, and Jihong Adams-Park, associate lecturer in DCMA, performed Fauré and Friends on March 19 in the Adolfo and Marisela Cotilla Gallery.
Adams sang “Rêve d’amour,” “Clair de lune” and “Mandoline” in French, while Adams-Park accompanied him on the piano. Adams enjoyed performing with his husband, Adams-Park.
“It’s romantic, French mélodie. I’ve always loved that music and have sung a lot of it in my life, and I have a great pianist who happens to be my husband, so we can practice and argue at home while working on music,” Adams said.
Adams-Park, who also performed on the piano “Duo des fleurs,” “Etude Op. 10, No. 1,” and “Somewhere” and “America” from “West Side Story,” liked seeing the audience.
“Seeing the audience react to the sound really inspires me,” Adams-Park said.
Carlo Ricchi, adjunct faculty in DCMA, played “La cathédrale engloutie” on the piano. Carmela Cinnante, senior music major, and Samyuktha Chaganti, sophomore speech language and communication disorders major, sang “Duo des fleurs” with Adams-Park. Chaganti and Teresa Arroyo, sophomore marine biology major, sang “Barcarolle.”
“It was fun to learn songs together that I think were somewhat of a challenge for all of us but gave us something to hone our skills with as well,” Cinnante said.
