The New York Festival of Song's forward-looking NYFOS Next series will open its 2013-14 season with "Mark Adamo & Friends" on Tuesday, January 28 at 7:30 p.m.

NYFOS Next is a series of free concerts that spotlight today's composers, lyricists and interpreters of modern song. The series finds a new home this season at the recital hall of Opera America's National Opera Center, a newly-designed facility that is ideally suited to NYFOS Next's intimate and relaxed atmosphere.

Composer-librettist Mark Adamo will curate the January 28 program, featuring both his own music and that of his colleagues and friends--including John Bucchino, Michele Brourman, Conrad Winslow, Mark Baechle and librettist Royce Vavrek.

In describing the evening's program, Adamo quotes Joan Didion: "We tell ourselves stories in order to live."
