Success in any undertaking comes of patient, unremitting effort. You cannot have it, unless you resolutely concentrate your energies upon your work; and resolutely refuse to be diverted by other subjects, no matter how important or interesting. When something else thrusts itself in, and demands notice, you must be ready to say: “I pass that by. I am going ahead.”

Join members of the talented cast of Opera Ithaca for an exclusive summer evening parlor concert in the inimitable elegance of the Seward House Drawing Room. With a set list of Seward family favorites drawn from their rich collection of sheet music and accompanied by the beauty of their 1872 Steinway piano, this performance is not to be missed. Marking the bi-centennial of 33 South Street, song selections have been specially chosen to reflect the tastes of all four generations of the family that lived here. This musical journey of American and international folk and classic songs will enchant and transport listeners back through the ages.
