* Webmaster's Note: The months of planning with Frank Fetta and The Redland’s Bowl staff which led to the appearance of Anthony Kearns opening the Redlands Bowl Summer Music Festival June 25, 2010 was one of the high points in my work booking Anthony Kearns across the U.S. Anthony sang an ambitious program that night with the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Frank Fetta. I loved working with Frank over the course of many months of long chats choosing repertoire and ironing out the details which culminated with the amazing evening of June 25, 2010. Frank is a real gentleman and great fun to work with. We look forward to working with him again in the years to come.
I can honestly say that Anthony thoroughly enjoyed the experience of performing with Frank and the opportunity to meet Bob Dolfi and Marlene D'Attanasio back stage after the concert. Anthony was privileged to be asked to serve as Honorary President of Lanza Legend, and has graciously accepted. Being an admirer of Mr. Lanza most of his life, Anthony enjoys paying tribute to the great tenor by including the music of Mario Lanza in the Kearns Solo Concert Repertoire. As most of you know, his interpretation of the Lanza songbook is respectfully and brilliantly presented.
The following photos were sent to the website by Marlene D'Attanasio with her kind
permission to post them here. They are the same photos she used to illustrate her article in
The Lanza Legend August Newsletter which is re-printed above.
