Liederabend LXXXIII: Shades of Romanticism, Part 1
Williams Hall
The tradition of the art song composition continues today, with composers from all corners of the world setting poetry in many languages, scored for voice and piano. The NEC Liederabend series presents songs in a variety of languages—not only German—dating from the 19th century up to the present day.
Tanya Blaich and Cameron Stowe, curators and coaches.

*****
A novel approach to vocal studies, NEC's Song Lab focuses on the repertoire, interpretation, and performance of art songs.
Through intertwined courses and guest lectures that enhance the creative process, students immerse themselves in the languages and histories of art song, develop their individual approaches, and learn to lead their own productions of song recitals on both traditional concert platforms and the digital stage.
Intellectually curious singers and collaborative pianists who seek a well-rounded approach and a chance to dive deep will find fertile ground for building exceptional musicianship, a personal artistic point of view, and a career of one’s own.
