AmiciMusic, the award-winning chamber music organization dedicated to intimate concerts in non-traditional venues, continues its 2019 season with a very special vocal program called “GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN,” celebrating Black History Month with soprano Simone Vigliante and pianist Daniel Weiser. The concert will feature some fantastic Spirituals such as “Go Tell it On the Mountain,” “Wade in the Water,” and “Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen” as well as some fun Ragtime interludes. Ms. Vigilante is an Asheville favorite who has sung across the country, bringing her powerful voice to opera, musical theater, and Churches. She has been praised as a “beautiful dramatic soprano capable of some awesome fireworks.” Dr. Weiser, the Artistic Director of AmiciMusic, has performed in over twenty countries around the world and has lots of interesting stories to tell about these Spirituals as well as the birth of Ragtime at the beginning of the 20th century. He is a former U.S. Artistic Ambassador of Music who has been described as a “true impresario and educator” and a “force of pianistic energy.”
There will be four different venues for the show. On Friday, February 1 at 7:30pm, they will be at White Horse Black Mountain. On Saturday, Feb. 2 at 3pm, they perform at a special House Concert at the home of Rebecca Morgan in Biltmore Forest (reservations are required and seating is limited). On Sunday, Feb. 3, they will do two programs, one at First Presbyterian Church in Asheville at 1:30pm and then another at Isis Music Hall in West Asheville at 6pm.
