From the Metropolitan Opera to Danville
What do Hercules, Porgy and the Norse god Wotan have in common? They’ve all been portrayed by American bass-baritone Eric Owens. A frequent star of the Metropolitan Opera, he’s sharing the stage with students from the Curtis Institute of Music. The quartet will perform gems from the lieder and song repertoire — anchored by Brahms’ lilting and pensive Neue Liebeslieder waltzes for four voices and four-hand piano, followed by operatic arias and ensemble pieces. Curtis on Tour is the Nina von Maltzahn global touring initiative of the Curtis Institute of Music.
Eric Owens will be joined by Curtis Institute of Music members:
Sarah Fleiss, soprano
Lucy Baker, mezzo-soprano
Joseph Tancredi, tenor
Eric Owens, bass-baritone
Miloš Repický, piano
Ting Ting Wong, piano
