CLA Italy 2023 Perspectives
I wish I could think of a different opening than this cheesy one, but there really are no better words to describe Classic Lyric Arts: a family of artists who “meet you where you are” and grow with you at every step of the way. It was last summer, July 2022 at CLA Berkshires, that I first met Glenn Morton, John Viscardi, and the CLA community. I had such a special experience studying Mozart in the mountains that I knew I wanted to come back. This time it was to attend CLA Italy, the original program that started Classic Lyric Arts.

Songs for a New World
Pioneer Productions brings Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown’s (“The Last Five Years”, “Bridges of Madison County”) powerful musical, Songs for a New World, to the stage at Fellowship Hall in the Morristown Methodist Church in downtown Morristown, NJ. The show will have six performances in June, June 9, 10, 16, and 17 at 8:00 PM and June 11 and 18 at 3:00 PM. Pioneer co-founder, Daniel Peter Vissers of Sparta, directs this musical that examines life, love and the choices we make.
