ELIMINATE GUTTER CLEANING FOR LIFE!
AmiciMusic presents “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.
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 20 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 US
Artistic Ambassador of Music
who has been described as a
“true impresario and educator”
and a “force of pianistic energy.”
