The Italian Straw Hat

Semperoper Dresden

The human voice, the most natural instrument, has inspired chamber music for centuries, bringing melodic beauty and the unique musicality of languages. This program celebrates the range and timbre of the voice as the ideal chamber collaborator. Music@Menlo debut artists include soprano Tony Arnold, “a luminary in the world of chamber music and art song” (Huffington Post), Met Opera mezzo-soprano Maire Therese Carmack, and baritone John Moore.
