Freeport, Bahamas - The bright lights of Broadway have beckoned Grand Bahama Performing Arts Society founder and president, Dalia Feldman, since she was a young girl. As a child, she celebrated special birthdays and holidays with much-anticipated excursions into Manhattan where unforgettable performances awakened her love of singing and live theatre magic. That same sense of excitement surrounds her upcoming one-night-only special concert on September 25th at 8 p.m. where favorites from her newly recorded album of classic Broadway showstoppers will be presented in celebration of the CD’s release. Album sales will benefits local performing arts students and help keep a vibrant variety of local and international talent performances happening on the island.

 The September 25th show will also feature Robert Edwin

Sharing the stage will be an international singer, composer, and writer—Robert Edwin—whose diverse career has seen him performing in New York City’s Carnegie Hall, with jazz legend Duke Ellington, in NBC Christmas specials, and with opera star Jerome Hines. Edwin also has extensive teaching credentials and will be conducting a Master Voice Workshop for local students on Sunday, September 26th, together with Feldman—who also happened to be his student for seven years while growing up in New Jersey. Adding even more pizzazz will be pianist Dr. Christy Lee, Assistant Professor of Music at College of The Bahamas/Nassau, who will accompany Dalia and several guest artist friends she has worked with over the years in many productions with the Freeport Players Guild.
