The Perfect Valentine
by Michael Dresdner
This year, David Duvall, in the guise of Purple Phoenix
Productions, has come up with the perfect concert/performance for Valentine’s
Day weekend.
Four outstanding Seattle-based singers – Laurie
Clothier, Connie Corrick, Hugh
Hastings, and Eric Polani Jensen – backed by
Duvall’s outstanding 9-piece Purple Phoenix Orchestra will present True Love: The Cole Porter Love Songbook
at Centerstage.
This is a perfect pairing; Porter is the ultimate writer of
love songs, and Duvall’s arrangements are consistently superb. In fact, this is
Duvall’s tenth tribute to Cole Porter.
Struggling to remember some of the Cole Porter songs you
adore? Let me help. In this heartstring-tugging concert you’ll hear, among
others, It’s De-Lovely, At Long Last Love, I Get a Kick Out of You, Easy to Love, Let’s Do It Let’s Fall in Love, I’ve Got You Under My Skin, What is This Thing Called Love?, My Heart Belongs to Daddy, Just One of Those Things, Begin the Beguine, From This Moment On, Night and Day, and of course, the
title song, True Love.
There are only two
shows being offered; one on Saturday
evening at 8 pm on February 15th,
and the other a matinee on Sunday
afternoon at 2 pm on February 16th.
If you’ve been to other concert performances staged by
Duvall, you already know that they are a divine, exhilarating, non-stop tidal
wave of amazing music performed by equally amazing musicians. If you haven’t
been to one… well, what are you waiting for? Take advantage of this Valentine’s
Day treat and experience one of the finest performance juggernauts the Puget
Sound has ever produced.
