Program

One of today’s most special singers joins one of the world’s great pianists to honor Chopin and Schumann, in the composers’ bicentenary year. They also offer a new work by one of today’s most striking composers, whose work has inspired Upshaw many times before. “There’s an honesty and a beauty in his music,” says Upshaw. “I am looking at my own life and my own music in a different way, because I’m so moved by what he is doing.”
