intelligence to their recitals. Join us after each of the concerts on

Tara Erraught’s career is skyrocketing with stellar performances at the Vienna State Opera, Glyndebourne Festival, and Bavarian State Opera. She has been praised by The New York Times for her “beautifully formed mezzo-soprano voice” and The Vancouver Sun for “irrepressible verve and obvious joy in performing.” The Irish-born singer makes her New York recital debut in a program that includes German lieder by Brahms and Liszt. She also performs songs by English composers Delius and Quilter—both singer and audience favorites.
