An Evening with Paul Sperry Paul Sperry is recognized as one of today's outstanding interpreters of American music. Although he is equally at home in a repertoire that extends from Monteverdi opera and the Bach Passions to Britten's War Requiem and hundreds of songs in more than a dozen languages, he brings to American music a conviction and an enthusiasm that has brought it to life for countless listeners. Many of today's leading composers have written works specially for him, and he has premiered works by Bernstein, Wuorinen, Bolcom, Talma, Musto and many others. Mr. Sperry was the first non-composer to be elected president of the American Music Center, as a result of his longtime devotion to American song. He teaches at The Juilliard School, the Manhattan School and Brooklyn College, and was a faculty member of the Aspen Music Festival for 24 seasons.
