The DuPage Symphony Orchestra presents
“Broadway Bonanza”, a concert featuring soprano Valerie Vinzant in
music from the most beloved Broadway repertoire of the past century. Music Director Barbara Schubert conducts
the DuPage Symphony, honored by the Illinois Council of Orchestras as the 2013
Community Orchestra of the Year, in a performance Saturday, July 12, 8:00 PM at

Featured
during this performance are several selections sung by soprano Valerie Vinzant,
returning to the DuPage Symphony after a highly successful debut performance
with the orchestra in December 2013. Ms. Vinzant has been hailed by critics for
her "delectable lyric soprano" (Los Angeles Times) and her "pure
silk voice". She recently completed her second season as a

she has appeared as a soloist with the LA Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony
Orchestra, Dallas Opera Symphony and is a frequent soloist of Baroque and
Classical Orchestras performing early works of Telemann, Handel, Bach, Vivaldi,
Haydn, Purcell and Mozart. Ms. Vinzant won the Dallas Opera Guild's top prize
