Baritone Shea Owens and Pianist Roxana Ionescu-Beck perform Lori’s songs

Baritone Shea Owens and Pianist Roxana Ionescu-Beck performed two of Lori’s songs in recital on March 28, 2021 at the Tonhalle St. Gallen in Switzerland: 

The Apple Orchard, which sets the poetry of Dana Gioia — written in 2004, as an 80th birthday present for my father-in-law Gershen Rosenblum

and

The Ballad Singer, which sets the poetry of Thomas Hardy — written in 1995 as a gift for my Yale classmate Robert Kennedy.
