FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Milton Community Concerts to Premier a New Musical

Milton, Massachusetts – November 8, 2026 – On Sunday, November 8th, the music from Carol Koffinke’s new musical, Faces of Love, was premiered by the Milton Community Concert Series.

Ms. Koffinke calls her musical a classical musical drama as it straddles the style of a traditional Broadway musical and an opera. Her inspiration for the music came from the ancient Greeks who separated love into many categories and ascribed a different name for each. Ms. Koffinke wrote the music and lyrics to songs that transported the audience into a wide range of types of love to include passionate, playful, obsessive, self, family, brotherly, timeless, and unconditional.  

The narrator, Grace Allendorf, introduced each song to the audience and described how it moves the storyline forward. Featured singers included some very well known professionals from the Boston Area to include sopranos Kathyrn McKellar and Emily Tweedy, mezzo-soprano Carrie Cheron, tenor David Rivera Bozon, and baritones Graham Lin and Scott Ballantine. The pianist and musical direction came from Timothy Steele who is the curator of this concert series.  

Ms. Koffinke is a composer of vocal and choral music. Her music has been featured in several concerts in the Boston area.
