Center Stage Records has announced the release of Out of Myself – Songs of Peter Foley in streaming and digital formats tomorrow, Friday, July 25. The album was recorded live at a tribute concert Peter Norton Symphony Space in 2023 by many Broadway stars, luminaries of the opera world, a nine-member musical ensemble and a 19-member chorus.
Foley was a rising musical theatre composer who was mentored by Stephen Sondheim, who called him “among the best of his generation at setting lyrics and writing music that evokes character and mood.” His work earned him the NEA New American Works grant, the Richard Rodgers Award, and Jonathan Larson Foundation Award, among many others. While he passed away before his work received widespread public recognition, he left behind an undiscovered trove of sweeping music.
Theatrely has an exclusive first listen to Kate Baldwin singing “Broadway” by Foley.
The cast features Baldwin, Shereen Ahmed, Mikaela Bennet, Max Chernin, Eisa Davis, Melissa Errico, Manoel Felciano, Ashley Pérez Flanagan, Jason Gotay, Marya Grandy, Darron Hayes, Christian Probst, Sam Simahk, and Michael Winther.
The album’s chorus includes Bobby Barksdale, Elyse Bell, Landan Berlof, Kat Capili, Jordan Collins, Julianna Braga, Nour Habbash, Gabriela Hernandez, Charlotte Kunesh, Jadon Lopez, Asher Muldoon, Michael Protacio, Izzy Ramirez, David Rowen, Chandler Sinks, Grayson Todd, Maria Tramontozzi, Matthew Weatherhead, and Yemie Woo.
The band features Meg Zervoulis Bate on piano, Kiku Enomoto on violin, Katherine Cherbas on cello, Jeremy Clayton and Greg Riley on reeds, Marc Schmied on bass, Matt SanGiovanni on guitar, Barry Spatz on keyboard, and Dan Berkery on percussion, with additional performances on piano by Rob Berman and Joseph Thalken, where noted.
