Jamie Barton, mezzo-soprano & Jake Heggie, piano

From the venue:

Since winning the Main and Song prizes at the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition, Georgia native Jamie Barton has conquered all before her, garnering international acclaim as “a leader of a new generation of opera stars” with a voice “rich and full of color, pouring from her with ease” (The New York Times).

Program: Songs by Henry PURCELL, Franz SCHUBERT, Florence PRICE, Johannes BRAHMS, and Jake HEGGIE, including the Georgia premiere of Heggie’s song cycle for Barton, What I Miss Most…, with new texts by Joyce DiDonato, Patti LuPone, Sister Helen Prejean, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Kathleen Kelly.
