Dorothea Hayley, soprano; Catherine Wood, clarinet; Manuel Laufer, piano - Introduced by Gerald van Wyck
Nature, solitude, and contemplation are the focus of this recital. From the burnished lake of Argento’s To Be Sung Upon the Water to the azure sky of Meyerbeer’s Hirtenlied, to the towering cliffs of Schubert’s beloved Shepherd on the Rock, the songs celebrate the freedom and inspiration of the natural world. Jeff Younger’s new piece, exploring the theme of erosion, evokes the fragile and transitory nature of our earth’s riches.
