Host Lee Koonce presents students, faculty, and alumni from the Eastman School of Music. You’ll hear selections from a concert of five singers and three pianists that recently took place in New York Puplic Radio’s Greene Space and was generously sponsored by The Gerda Lissner Foundation. The foundation is a charitable organization whose mission is to provide encouragement and financial support to young singers as they pursue careers in opera. It’s the first of three concerts sponsored by the foundation this year, all of which will be held at New York Public Radio’s Greene Space.
Tonight, Lee speaks with three of the singers on the program, and showcases music by Donizetti, Mozart, Wolf, and more.
