Carnegie Hall SongStudio | Part Two
We return to the stage of the Weill Performance Hall for a second time in two weeks. More Lieder and more great singing from Charlotte Wajnberg, Maire Therese Carmack, Shannon Keegan, Yuriy Hadzetskyy, and Vinicius Costa.
Four masterclasses led by four musicians at the top of their games. Golda Schultz. Hartmut Höll. Renee Fleming. Jamie Barton. An intimate setting (the Weill Performance Hall) working with beyond-gifted young singers who won a seat in this program. Still cannot believe it… and I was there to witness it all.
This is the second of two shows on art song. German Lieder. Storytelling and poetry. A world familiar (I guess) to me… yet exotic and foreign at the same time. The opportunity was there – I grabbed it. I am extremely proud of what you are about to hear. This combined with last week’s show – got to be my best work yet on Lester the Nightfly. – PJ
