featuring an international cast of singers and members of one of the Eternal City's most renowned orchestras, the Rome
Philharmonic Orchestra. The Orchestra returns to the stage for an All-Mozart program, "In Celebration of Mozart." The cast
of the Rossini production will repeat the performance on July 14 and 16 in Syros, Greece as part of Opera Aegean.
Says Peter Tiboris, MidAmerica Productions' Artistic Director and General Director, "The EUROMA CLASSICA Music Festival
brings together outstanding artists from around the world to perform some of the world's most beautiful music in one of
the world's most beautiful settings. We are delighted to present the first season of this annual festival with such a
distinguished collection of artists."
Peter Tiboris founded MidAmerica Productions, Inc., in 1984 with its first concert on January 7, 1984, which also served as
his New York debut, conducting the American Symphony Orchestra and the Louisiana Choir in Rossini's Stabat Mater and two
contemporary works by Dinos Constantinides. As an independent producer of classical concerts, MidAmerica presents soloists
and choral and instrumental ensembles from around the world in New York's Carnegie Hall, Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall,
Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, and Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall.
In 2000, MidAmerica formed Opera Aegean, a training program and opera company based in Greece. In its first season, 21
promising artists studied and performed under the guidance of famed baritone Sherrill Milnes, and co-directors Carol
Castel and Nicolas DiVirgilio. In the summer of 2001, legendary soprano Martina Arroyo gave a master class and spent
10 days participating with the artistic staff of Opera Aegean. In 2005 Opera Aegean will present Rossini's
Il Barbiere di Siviglia on the Island of Syros, Cyclades, Greece.
