Fundraiser for Christopher Anderson, candidate for City Council, to feature NYC Opera Singer

This recital is curated to explore the various and tumultuous experiences of love. Each piece was chosen to to embody some aspect of the experience; fascination, flirtation, lust, contentment, joy, despair, restoration, and unending trust. It is my hope that the journey through the text, history, and performance of this music, might bring us all to some understanding of our own experiences in love.

"Eros, again now, the loosener of limbs troubles me, Bittersweet, sly, uncontrollable creature."  Sappho

In Plato's Symposium, Aristophanes offers insight to the origin of love in human existence.  In the beginning, human beings had 2 legs, 2 arms, and 2 faces. Zeus became enraged that the strength and autonomy of these beings. He used his lightning bolts to split them in two, dooming them, for the rest of their existence, to constantly search the earth for their other half. This endless longing search for completion is what we call love.

Therefore- It is no matter where in the world, when in time, nor what language you speak; In life, and even in death, there is ALWAYS love.

59 Barber Street ~ Torrington, CT

Critically acclaimed concert violinist, recording artist, composer and author, Peter Ferreira (born: Pedro Ferreira), has been a very active violinist since the age of 6, inspired by his grandfather, also a violinist. He entered the Conservatorio De Musica in Coimbra, Portugal, where he studied with teacher Dario Peixoto.
Peter Ferreira is described in Comunidades USA Magazine as one of the most celebrated Portuguese-born violinist of the modern era... Since a very young age, Peter spent his formative years training as a classical musician, surrounded by many of the violin masters of the ages... From J.S. Bach to Piazzolla, Peter's astounding energy and infectious passion along with his seasoned golden tone performances have an abundant hot Mediterranean influence, sure to captivate the audience!
Although classically trained, Peter is equally comfortable performing classical music as he is playing rock, jazz, tango, world music or his own Portuguese folk idiom and is a rare musician who defies definition. A kind of universal musician so rarely encountered in our time.
As a soloist, Mr. Ferreira has been repeatedly praised for the beauty of is tone, the depth and flair of his musicianship, and his rare balance of virtuosity and sensitivity. He has performed as soloist with orchestras and ensembles in the United States, Canada, South America and Europe. He founded the Dresden String Quartet in 1998, and performed as its first violinist through 2002.
