Recital: Xiao Xiao '23 GD, Mezzo-soprano

NEC: Keller Room | Directions

NEC's students meet one-on-one each week with a faculty artist to perfect their craft. As each one leaves NEC to make their mark in the performance world, they present a full, professional recital that is free and open to the public. It's your first look at the artists of tomorrow.

Xiao Xiao '23 GD studies Voice with MaryAnn McCormick and is the recipient of the Mildred H. Kellogg Endowed Voice Scholarship.

This is an in-person event with a private stream available to the NEC community here: https://necmusic.edu/live

Artists

  1. Robert Schumann | Frauen-Liebe und Leben, op. 42 (1840)

    Seit ich ihn gesehen
    Er, der Herrlichste von allen
    Ich kann’s nicht fassen, nicht glauben
    Du Ring an meinem Finger
    Helft mir, ihr Schwestern
    Süßer Freund, du blickest
    An meinem Herzen, an meiner Brust
    Nun hast du mir den ersten Schmerz getan

  2. Ralph Vaughan Williams | Songs of Travel (1904)

    The vagabond
    Let Beauty awake
    The roadside fire
    Youth and love
    In dreams
    The infinite shining heavens
    Whither must I wander
    Bright is the ring of words
    I have trod the upward and the downward slope

    Thank you to my dearest teacher,
    Ms. MaryAnn McCormick,

    to keep me motivated and supported throughout my program.
    Your knowledge and experience provides us with a priceless model for our own careers.
    I am so happy you are part of my     education.

    Thank you to my wonderful coach and accompanist,
    Mr. J.J. Penna,
    your advice, kindness and passion comes through in our coaching,
    your patience and understanding are unsurpassed,
    and seems to be a part of what makes you an effective teacher and performer.
    I feel so grateful to perform this recital with you.

    Thank you to my beloved Parents,
    Just wanted to make sure you know that one of the biggest things I’m feeling right now is gratitude for the loving, supportive parents you are.
    As I look ahead to what    ’s next, I see lots of changes.
    But there    ’s at least one thing that will never change—how lucky I’ll always feel to have parents like you.

    Last but not least,
    thank you to all of my friends for your generous love and support,
    each one of you made my journey in NEC special and unforgettable,
    I couldn't have made it without you.
