The Arts at Grace will present its third annual all American music concert at 4:00 PM. on Sunday, May 25th at Grace Episcopal Church. This year's concert will feature the music of Samuel Barber, William Bolcom, Carlisle Floyd, and Irving Berlin performed by musicians well known to audiences from The Arts at Grace and all over Central New York. A special treat will be a new chamber choir formed by soprano Marion Giambattista that will perform Reincarnations, an a cappella choral work by Barber. Concert instrumentalists will be violinist Bill Hurley and Lois Pfister, violist Suzanne Miller, cellist Heidi Hoffman, and pianist William Cowdery. Baritone Steven Stull, soprano Julia Ebner, and mezzo soprano Ivy Buterbaugh will each sing several works. The concert will conclude with several songs of Irving Berlin, including "Cheek to Cheek" and "Anything You Can Do." The audience will join in with the rousing "God Bless America"
