The program will include classic American art songs of Copland, Barber, Ned Rorem, and the Catskills composer Robert Manno.
Widely recognized as one of the leading collaborative pianists of the day, Brian Zeger has performed with many of the world’s greatest singers including Marilyn Horne, Deborah Voigt, Anna Netrebko, Susan Graham, René Pape, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Frederica von Stade, Piotr Beczala, Bryn Terfel, Joyce DiDonato, Denyce Graves, and Adrianne Pieczonka in an extensive concert career that has taken him to the premiere concert halls throughout the United States and abroad.
He has recorded extensively for the EMI, Koch, Naxos and New World labels, with his most recent recordings for the Delos label, including Gathering: Songs by Ben Moore, featuring an exceptional array of opera and Broadway stars; A Lost World – Schubert Songs and Duets with Susanna Phillips and Shenyang; All Who Wander, a recital disc with Jamie Barton; Preludios – Spanish songs with Isabel Leonard; a recording of Strauss and Wagner lieder with Adrianne Pieczonka, and Dear Theo: 3 Song Cycles by Ben Moore with Paul Appleby, Susanna Phillips and Brett Polegato.
Recent seasons have taken him to Carnegie Hall, the Vilar Performing Arts Center, the Bard Festival, the Frankly Music series in Milwaukee and the Schubertiade Festival with artists including Anna Netrebko and Adrienne Pieczonka and two concert series where he served as both pianist and curator for multiple seasons: Juilliard Songfest at Alice Tully Hall and National Sawdust, and curated concerts themed to current exhibitions at Metropolitan Museum of Art, including Delacroix and Music with mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey.
Meredith Wohlgemuth is an American soprano who received her Masters of Music in Vocal Arts from the Juilliard School and continues to study with Marlena Malas. She is a 2023 Grand Prize Winner of The Metropolitan Opera Eric and Dominique Laffont Competition.
Regarded as a singer with “personal style and a very beautiful baritone voice” (Seen and Heard International), “One of our favorite young singers is Joseph Parrish whose deeply resonant tone is never booming but rather subtly colored.” (Voce di Meche) Joseph’s artistry incorporates a unique blend of genre and performance methods, shining a light on his own experiences as a human being, so that people might recognize and see into themselves through his music.
This concert is supported in part by Janine Shelffo and Steve McGrath.
