“If there is a finer composer of song with piano alive and working in the world today, I would very much like to know his or her name.” - Graham Johnson

In August 2011, American musician John Musto had his opera “Later the Same Evening” performed at the Glimmerglass Festival in upstate New York. Robbie Ellis was there and talked to John about his musical upbringing in New York City, the great American songbook, the demands of composing opera, and creating cabaret with his wife, Amy Burton.
