The evening, which is simply titled Love Songs, will feature the premieres of song cycles penned by Sam Davis, Sean Hartley, Paul Loesel, Steve Marzullo and Joseph Thalken. Among those scheduled to interpret these new works are Christian Anderson, Kate Baldwin, Tituss Burgess, Katie Clarke, Karen Murphy, Sally Wilfert and Michael Winther. The 8 PM evening will also feature a new work by composer Ben Wexler. The performers will be backed by Tom Murray on piano, Steve Benson on guitar, Ed Matthew on clarinet and Clay Ruede on cello. Graham Rowat will host the evening, which features direction by Annette Joles.

In the world-premiere works, the composers, according to press notes, "lambast love or honor Eros as they see fit, in a series of four song cycles that chart the many different experiences and expressions of romance."

Tickets, priced $15-$25, are available by calling (212) 865-5400 or by visiting www.symphonyspace.org. Symphony Space is located in Manhattan at 2537 Broadway at 95th Street.
