The Programs
March 26, 2015 – GERMAN SONG: A TOUR – tenor Mark Duffin, baritone Grant Youngblood, soprano Elisabeth Turchi, countertenor David Stanley
Ludwig van Beethoven’s Liederkreis an die ferne Geliebte, sung by tenor MARK DUFFIN, and Richard Strauss’ Opus 27 (“Ruhe, meine Seele,” “Cäcilie,” “Heimliche Aufforderung,” and “Morgen!”), sung by baritone GRANT YOUNGBLOOD, present the universal themes that bear the burden of our personal dramas.
