Voices in Italian Americana.
This October 8th concert, in which Mr. Sparacino will collaborate with
classical pianist Isabella Eredita Johnson at the Northport Public Library,
continues Mr. Sparacino's practice of combining music and poetry. On July
25th, he collaborated with string bassist Karen Gellert at the Elaine Stein
Gallery, also in Northport. On November 21st he will appear with trombonist
Joe Schaefer at the Conklin Barn in Huntington.
Isabella Eredita grew up in Northport and began her music
studies with Gladys Fanton. She received both her Bachelor's and Master's
Degrees from the Manhattan School of Music. Ms. Eredita is on the faculty
of Five Towns College and teaches piano privately. She is an active advocate
for the arts on Long Island, serving as chairman of the Northport Arts Coalition.
Among her proudest accomplishments are the presentations of the Diabelli Variations
and the Goldberg Variations. Each of these two concerts involved the gathering
of over thirty fine pianists, each performing a single variation.
A collaboration between a contemporary poet and
a classical pianist.
Here are the works of the classical masters blended
with contemporary (original) poetry.
