Starring Diane Phelan and Marc de la Cruz
Diane Phelan and Marc de la Cruz, both of whose performing credits include New York’s Broadway, are returning this year as volunteer artists at the Youth Arts Festival. They have assembled a song cycle for the benefit concert with selections from Him Sophy’s original score of Where Elephants Weep, a modern telling of the traditional tale of Tum Teav. Other songs have been selected from Leonard Bernstein’s popular score, West Side Story, also a modern telling of an ancient myth, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. The composer Him Sophy will conduct the traditional orchestra that played the original opera to accompany the two stars who will also be accompanied by acoustic piano.
The proceeds from this prestigious artistic event will go directly to support the Cambodian Youth Arts Festival. Join us August 3 starting at 6:15 pm with a cocktail reception followed by the concert at 7:00 pm.
