We are pleased to announce the Quent Cordair Fine Art, 2008 Arts Cruise, January 6-13, 2008, aboard Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas.
Enjoy select performances, concerts, demonstrations, lectures and round-table discussion in the fields of Music, Visual Arts, Drama, Film, Art History & Art Appreciation — twenty-four full hours of Fine Arts, leisurely paced over the six days and seven nights of our Western Caribbean cruise.
The opening musical event will be a recital by lyric tenor Alan August and pianist Stephen Siek. The works will include Schumann’s passionate sixteen-song cycle Dichterliebe, op. 48, as well as operatic masterpieces by Rossini, Puccini, and others. Other musical events will include Romantic solo and chamber works by cellist Thomas Shoebotham and pianist Stephen Siek.
Our 2008 Arts Program will culminate, on the final evening of our cruise, in a production of Maurice Maeterlinck’s three-act play Monna Vanna , described by Ayn Rand as “…one of the greatest plays in all world literature.” According to our research, this will be the first staged performance of this play in over eighty years. After making your reservation, be sure to check back here for more information to be announced soon detailing our presenters, performances, lectures and demonstrations.
The QCFA 2008 Arts Program aboard Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas is designed to be enjoyed at an unhurried, leisurely pace, scheduled to allow adequate opportunity to fully enjoy the Voyager’s abundance of amenities, to relax privately or socially, and to take in the variety of pleasures and experiences to be discovered in our three ports of call. Art lectures and demonstrations are scheduled for the three days at sea, with three full hours of free, unscheduled time each afternoon. Performances and concerts are scheduled aboard the ship each evening after dinner, including the evenings of our days in port, subsequent to embarkation. Our goal is to provide a refreshing, uplifting, restful, rejuvenative experience.
Space is limited. For reservations and information call Quent Cordair Fine Art at 1-866-267-3247.
