In a Celebrity Series first, the thrilling combination of a mezzo-soprano, a violist, and a pianist share the stage for a program featuring Romantic-era classics and culminating in the Boston premiere of a Celebrity Series co-commission by Joel Thompson written for the ensemble.
American mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton, considered one of the brightest stars in opera, provides striking vocals as renowned violist Matthew Lipman and critically acclaimed pianist Tamar Sanikidze complete the trio of well-matched and generously collaborative musicians. Ineffable moments of drama and beauty will fill the concert hall with works by Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms before the program concludes with a yet-to-be titled Music Accord co-commission by composer, conductor, and pianist Joel Thompson.
Clara Schumann: Six Lieder, Op. 13
Johannes Brahms: Sonata in E-flat Major for viola and piano, Op. 120, no. 2
Brahms: Two Songs for voice, viola, and piano, Op. 91
