LDS Soprano Jamie Baer Peterson to Perform in Salt Lake City
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Critically-acclaimed New York based LDS
performing artists Jamie Baer Peterson, soprano, along with violinist
Winona Vogelmann Fifield and composer/pianist David Fletcher will
present a concert of their originial and traditional Holiday Chamber
Music on Saturday November 24 at 7 p.m. at the Wasatch Presbyterian
Church, 1626 South 1700 East, Salt Lake City. The concert will
highlight selections from their new Christmas CD "Rejoice Greatly"
which is available on Amazon.com.
Peterson says the idea for a Christmas album and concert came while
singing a performace of the "Messiah" at Lincoln Center in New York
City, "Following the concert, an old friend of mine suggested that I
do a Christmas album. He told me 'you need to do this for your
children.' And so I did it!" The result of Peterson's efforts with
Fifield and Fletcher is "Rejoicer Greatly," a compilation of fresh
new arrangements of Christmas classics by Fletcher, including "Gesu
Bambino", "Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella" and "Ave Maria". They
are joined by a string quartet for moving arrangements of "Silent
Night", "O holy Night" and Handel's original arrangements of "Rejoice
Greatly" and "Come unto Him". This joyful collection is a
heartwarming addition to the musical feast of Christmas.
