Out of Myself—Songs of Peter Foley

On June 5th, 2023, a phenomenal cast of Broadway vocalists, a 9-piece band, and full chorus performed a dazzling range of songs by Peter Foley at New York’s Symphony Space. Now, a recording of the concert has been released on Center Stage Records.

Music directed and conducted by Grammy and Emmy Award winner Rob Berman, Out of Myself—Songs of Peter Foley showcases Peter’s stage works—The Hidden Sky, The Names We Gave Him, Bloom, You Captured My Heart (working title), Whitechapel, and Songs from an Unmade Bed—as well as songs written for concert and cabaret, with lyrics by Peter Foley, Marion Adler, Carl R. Brush, Mark Campbell, Adam Gopnik, Matthew Heimer, and Ellen McLaughlin.

Peter’s soaring, soul-stirring songs are brought to life by some of Broadway and opera’s most celebrated voices and rising stars: Shereen Ahmed, Kate Baldwin, Mikaela Bennett, Max Chernin, Eisa Davis, Melissa Errico, Manoel Felciano, Ashley Pérez-Flanagan, Jason Gotay, Marya Grandy, Darron Hayes, Christian Probst, Sam Simahk, and Michael Winther.

The digital booklet for the album (coming soon) will include full song lyrics and liner notes by producers Kate Chisholm and Rob Berman. Berman writes:

“Listen to the entirety of this collection of songs and I think you will be struck, as I was, by his facility in such a wide range of musical styles. Peter’s influences were many and he loved so many genres: classical music, from Monteverdi to minimalism; pop, funk, jazz, reggae, world music; the American Songbook, classic musical theatre, Sondheim. His songs came equally out of his head and heart, and now we have the opportunity for them to enter ours. Lucky us.”

The album is available for digital download from Center Stage Records, Apple Music, and Amazon Music and for worldwide streaming wherever you listen to music. We encourage you to buy the album and listen to it in its entirety to experience the extraordinary scope of Peter’s work and support our mission.
