Freeport, Bahamas - Born into a family that loved the performing arts, Dalia Feldman grew up just a short bus ride from the bright lights of Broadway, and celebrated countless childhood birthdays with trips to shows in Manhattan—gifts from her generous older brother.
Inspired by her love of the stage and
blessed with a beautiful singing voice, Dalia shared her talent in many
theatrical productions by The Freeport Players Guild over the past several
years. At the urging of friends and family, she decided to record an
album of some of her favorite Broadway show tunes, the sale of which
will benefit The Grand Bahama Performing Arts Society, which she founded
in 2008 to support local performing arts students.
To celebrate the album’s release, a special concert will be held on Saturday evening, September 25, 2010 at 8 p.m. at The Regency Theatre. Dalia Feldman will perform songs from the new CD, including classic tunes from Cats, The King and I, Phantom of The Opera, Thoroughly Modern Millie, My Fair Lady, and other popular long-running Broadway shows.
Sharing the stage will be local guest
artists plus an international singer, composer, and writer—Robert
Edwin—whose diverse career has seen him performing in New York City’s
Carnegie Hall, with jazz legend Duke Ellington, in NBC Christmas specials,
and with opera star Jerome Hines. Edwin also has extensive teaching
credentials and will be conducting a Master Voice Workshop for local
students on Sunday, September 26th, together with Feldman—who
also happened to be his student for seven years while growing up in
New Jersey.
For Dalia Feldman, this extra-special
concert will be like coming home in so many ways—by celebrating her
long time love of Broadway, by helping the next generation explore their
theatrical talents, and by making musical magic of her own on a date
that brings her full circle: on her birthday, September 25th!
