Music at Mesa presents tenor Derek Chester

On Thursday, February 11^th at 7:30pm, Music at Mesa will present guest artist and tenor Derek Chester, in a concert with Arthur Houle, piano, and assisted by Danielle Greiner, mezzo-soprano.

The program will consist of art songs by Robert Schumann, W.A. Mozart, Gabriel Fauré, and Benjamin Britten, among others, and will be performed in the Moss Performing Arts Center's Love Recital Hall.

Praised by the New York Times for his "beautifully shaped and carefully nuanced singing," tenor Derek Chester is steadily making a name for himself in the world of classical music. Trained at the University of Georgia, he was a Fulbright Scholar and spent a year in Germany furthering his training. While maintaining an active performing career, Chester received his Doctorate from the University of North Texas. Chester will perform with CMU pianist Arthur Houle and local singer Danielle Greiner, who was most recently seen in High Desert Opera’s production of Hansel and Gretel as Hansel.

Tickets for Derek Chester’s guest artist recital are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors, faculty/staff and $5 for students. They are available by calling the Box Office at 970.248.1604.
