Mozart Coronation Mass

Chicago Symphony Orchestra

In this sweeping program centered around the beauty found in nature, Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen brings his “astonishingly beautiful” (The Guardian) tone to a wide range of repertoire. Heightened by the deeply sensitive playing of pianist John Churchwell, the program includes Korngold’s rarely performed Songs of Farewell; Robert Schumann’s Liederkreis Op. 39; works from Nussbaum Cohen’s Jewish heritage; songs by Black American composers Leslie Adams and Florence Price; and a new work by leading American composer Jake Heggie. Having recently recorded the program’s German song repertoire—never before recorded by a countertenor—this departure from the standard repertory of the voice type promises to create a moving and memorable evening.
