Performing pieces composed by the likes of Duke Ellington, Cole Porter and Johann Sebastian Bach, the New York Virtuoso Singers displayed an incredible versatility and range Tuesday night as they performed inside the acoustic walls of Slee Hall.Harold Rosenbaum, artistic director and founder of the 17-year-old NYVS, conducted the group and the Slee Sinfionetta as they accompanied the singers in the second portion of the show.In addition to directing the student choirs and teaching conductors and students, Rosenbaum is constantly in NYC and travels the world with his groups of singers.The entire performance went off without a hitch, as the NYVS seemed to hit every note just right.David Felder, professor of composition, who also serves as Artistic Director of the Slee Sinfionetta, composed the second piece of the night, "Memento Mori."The piece began with the powerful bass section of the chorus, and continued with somber, deep tones, as if dark spirits were battling inside Slee Hall.After the concert, Rosenbaum commented on the music and text of Felder's piece."It includes the themes of Mahler the most, the struggle between life on Earth and the hereafter, and what's to come," he said.
