Lyric Fest—a fantastic Philadelphia-based art song series—will celebrate the life and work of Benjamin Franklin with a concert at the American Philosophical Society (Franklin Hall) on Friday, April 10 at 7:30 PM. Included will be premieres of commissioned works by Jennifer Higdon, Melissa Dunphy, and Benjamin Perry Wenzelberg. I’m honored to have my setting of Franklin’s epitaph (which he penned himself) on the program.
