New Music 2022

Sunday, July 31, 4:00 PM

The Madison Community Arts Center, 10 Kings Road,

Madison, New Jersey



Maestro Butts will present two song sets on this special concert. The first set will be the popular Wheatley Songs, settings of poems by 18th century African American poetess Phillis Wheatley. These songs will soon be featured in a special online exhibit about Wheatley.

The second set represents the world premiere of Three Italian Songs—settings of poetry by Vincenzo Faggiano, with whom Maestro Butts collaborated on the exciting opera Vite senza tempo, premiered in Padua, Italy in September 2021.

Composer David Williams has been an active composer, guitarist, and teacher in New Jersey for a while. "Brave melodies, contrasting juxtapositions, and repeated lines often work their way into his work."


Michael DeMaio's theater works have received national and international productions. Full Circle, his most recent work, was premiered at The Sargent Theater in New York in November 2021. Michael was a recipient of the 2008 and 2009 ASCAP Plus Award.


Admission for this special new music opportunity is $20.
