Voces Intimae

The sounds are many at the bottom of one's heart, Vague thoughts, the songs unsung are many; But they are perpetually suppressed With a monotonous anxiety of restless troubles. Its unwelcome force pushes hard, Though a heart has been fighting life for long, But life is loud like a whirlwind bowing pine trees, Like a murmur of streams, so the voice of the heart whispers. (Poem by Count Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy (1817-1875); Art song by Sergei Vasil'yevich Rachmaninov (1873-1943) , "Jest' mnogo zvukov" , op. 26 no. 1 (1906). Translation from Russian to English copyright © by Yuri Mitelman)
Voces Intimae was founded in the Spring of 2005 to inspire the revival of Art Song in the North Texas region. Our mission is twofold: to sustain the art of the song recital via professional concerts and events and to promote the development of young emerging artists in this special repertoire through workshops and targeted recital opportunities.

THE RECITAL SERIES:
Each season, Voces Intimae offers a series of exciting recitals with professional singers and pianists from throughout the Metroplex and further afield. Program themes are carefully designed to be stimulating, provocative and entertaining. We explore poets and composers from around the world, in songs from every era of the vocal art even into music of our time.

THE WORKSHOP:
During an annual workshop weekend, esteemed clinicians will delve into a particular topic of focus to develop young singers and pianists studying at Texas universities and schools of music. Events during the workshop include a faculty recital, roundtables, interdisciplinary talks, and a series of master classes designed to bring out the potential in each participant. The weekend culminates in a celebratory recital featuring all participants.

THE COLD WAR SOPRANO

Many Wagner Society of Dallas members fondly remember Sheila Jones Harms, who was an active member of the organization, and who presented many interesting programs and recitals over the years.

Now, WSD member Ed Flaspoehler has completed his biography of Sheila, called The Cold War Soprano: Memoirs of a Singer-Spy.

If you are interested in opera and fine singing, Sheila's biography will surely be of interest to you. Not only will you get an inside glimpse of what it takes to become an opera singer, and learn about the world of opera in Post- WWII Vienna, but, because Sheila and her husband Werner, were also CIA agents, you will get a look at the Cold War from a personal point of view.

You can get a copy of Ed's book on the internet at Lulu.com
