Event Details
As part of a residency at Macalester College, countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen presents his Uncharted recital program with pianist John Churchwell. This sweeping program centered around the beauty found in nature, includes Korngold’s rarely performed Songs of Farewell; Robert Schumann’s Liederkreis Op. 39; works from Nussbaum Cohen’s Jewish heritage; songs by Black American composers Leslie Adams and Florence Price; and a new work by leading American composer Jake Heggie. Having recently recorded the program’s German song repertoire—never before recorded by a countertenor—this departure from the standard repertory of the voice type promises to create a moving and memorable evening.
This performance is made possible through funding from the Dierenfield Endowment for Music and the Eugene C. Pulliam Endowed Fund for Music. The recital will be livestreamed.
