Shameless plug (this was in the 12/30 NY Times):
The birthday of Victor Herbert (Feb. 1, 1859) will be celebrated by the Collegiate Chorale Singers, led by Robert Bass (celebrating his 25th anniversary as the music director), with an evening of American operetta on Feb. 1 at Alice Tully Hall. Besides the music of Herbert, the program, conceived and written by Mr. Bass and Roger Rees and featuring the Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players, will include music by two other European composers who became American citizens: Sigmund Romberg and Rudolf Friml.
