Paul and PurpleVocals in Texas, Minnesota, Philadelphia and Tennessee.

Paul Phoenix is spending the month of January in the USA with 4 very different projects. The month starts in San Antonio, TX, working as a faculty member of the inaugural Alamo Baroque Festival. Paul will be performing music composed around the time San Antonio was founded, including Purcell, Handel and others. He has already given a performance of French baroque music in front of the Alamo (pictured).

Paul has a special affinity with the music of American composer Libby Larsen, with whom he first worked as a member of The King’s Singers. He will sing with the Schubert Club of Minneapolis St Paul in a concert featuring pieces which Libby has written as companion music to comic strip cartoons and other visual media. The program includes “The Fantom of the Fair” which illustrates a story of the superhero in action at the World’s Fair, “The Peculiar Case of Dr. H.H. Holmes” for baritone & prepared piano with projected drawings, and “Love Tamer” with reconstructed comic strip illustrations. See more here.

Paul is a regular visitor to the Philadelphia Boys Choir and he will be working and performing with them in a residency as part of he choir’s 50th anniversary year.

And to end the trip Paul will be visiting Maryville College, TN where he is a regular visitor. You can read more about his work as artist in residence there here.
