Luigi Boccia, making his NYC recital debut, accompanied by Chelsea Opera's Music Director/Conductor, Carmine Aufiero, will present a program of great Italian art songs by Paolo Tosti. The program will also include songs by composers Giulio Caccini, Giovanni Paisiello, Giuseppe Giordani, Vincenzo Bellini, and Giacomo Puccini, and a selection of Neapolitan favorites. Following his opera debut with Chelsea Opera in the role of Don Ottavio (Mozart’s Don Giovanni), Mr. Boccia was invited to coach “Ferrando” in Mozart’s Cosî fan tutte with Maestro Ottavio Dantone at Milano’s Teatro alla Scala. Mr. Boccia and Maestro Aufiero are pleased to present this recital as a benefit for Chelsea Opera’s Production Fund in anticipation of its May 15-18 production of the 50th anniversary of the New York City premiere of Douglas Moore’s The Ballad of Baby Doe.
Also from the Chelsea Opera:
We would be delighted to have the CUNY BA usher core for our four performances of The Ballad of Baby Doe which are on Thur, Fri and Sat at 7.30pm and Sun at 3pm. May 15-18, at St. Peter's Church in Chelsea (346 West 20th Street). We need at least six people per night but could easily work with as many as eight. They would need to arrive no later than one hour before curtain. In return, they will get to see the show for FREE!!!! If they'd like a spouse/partner to come along (they have to usher, too), that's fine. If a sufficient number of CUNY BA students volunteer (say 15 or more), we would be pleased to put a nice acknowledgement in the program.
Students who are interested in volunteering should email me at the above address. It's not too soon to send this out. We're usually in a crunch to get enough people and it would be heavenly to have the ushers lined up this far in advance.
Thanks so much for your help and support.

Student Profile: Clint Porter
http://www1.cuny.edu/news/cm-archive/feb08.pdf
An except from "CUNY Grows Greener," an article in the Feb 2008 CUNY Matters magazine, featuring CUNY BA Program student Clint Porter
1st CUNY Renewable-Energy Grad Powers Up Solar Career
CLINT PORTER was studying photography when he stumbled across a book about the coming hydrogen economy that changed his life. “I wanted to build things and create, which is why I liked art and photography. But then I thought about hydrogen, biofuels, solar and wind, and figured that since people will always be using electricity, I’d always have a job.” He found that no CUNY program offered a course to a bachelor’s degree. That led him to the CUNY Graduate Center’s Baccalaureate Degree Program, which let him stitch together courses in physics, calculus, environmental policy and environmental chemistry from Baruch, City and Hunter Colleges. At the CUNY Institute for Urban Systems, he conducted an energy audit on the federal Million Solar Roofs program. He added three independent study courses and two internships, including one at the Solar Electric Power Association in Washington, D.C. Porter finished his solar-related coursework two years ago,
disposed of lingering English and American literature courses via CLEP (College-Level Examination Program) exams after moving to San Francisco to work in the solar industry, and will receive his BA in Energy Resource Policy in Latin America in January—the first CUNY undergraduate to earn a diploma in renewable energy. He now handles sales, government affairs and marketing for Kaco Solar Inc. USA, part of an international company that manufactures photovoltaic inverters, which turn the direct current generated by solar cells into the alternating current needed for most power uses.“This was an awesome way to study—to have the freedom to educate yourself when a program is not in place to give you what you need,” he said. “I’m 27 and have more experience and knowledge of the industry than people twice my age, most of it because of the CUNY Baccalaureate Program.”
