Sarah Brailey, soprano | Clara Osowski, mezzo-soprano | Tomasz Lis, piano

World premieres of new songs and cycles, completed this year, by one of the most important voices in American art song.
Renowned over his long and distinguished career for his riveting interpretations of poetic texts, this concert presents new cycles on poetry of Fried, Stevens, Sappho, and Glück, together with the newly restored Miłosz Songs, Harbison’s towering collection, originally for Dawn Upshaw and the New York Philharmonic, that captures the lyrical intensity of Miłosz’s reflections on time, history, mortality, and transcendence.
