Gilded Melodies: Music for Saxophone, Voice & Piano
The Sembrich in Bolton Landing on Lake George.
As part of its 2025 Gilded Age Summer Festival, The Sembrich presents A unique journey back to the program of 19th-century opera arias and fantasies for saxophone and piano, featuring music by Donizetti and Mayeur.
Dr. Christopher Brellochs
Dr. Christopher Brelloch, the Dean of the SUNY Schenectady School of Music, presents the program. His current scholarly interest, “Music of the Gilded Age,” includes the research, performance, and presentation of music in historic mansions, as well as the creation of a related documentary series.
Selections from the Gilded Age.
Louis Mayeur (1837-1894) served as bass clarinetist/solo saxophonist with the Orchestre de l'Opéra in Paris, where he performed some of the most popular works of the time. Mayeur turned to the popular operatic melodies of the day and composed fantasies for saxophone and piano, showpieces that combined the soaring lyricism of the opera stage with dazzling technical passages.
Experience an original opera aria with piano accompaniment, followed by the saxophone composition that inspired it.
Soprano Sarah Joy Miller, who portrayed legendary opera star Christine Nilsson on HBO’s The Gilded Age, will make a special guest appearance on the program.
