“Sublime Schubert”

A BREATHTAKING RECITAL OF SCHUBERT LIEDER

From King Charles’s coronation and the Royal Opera House, to the renowned Wigmore Hall and the London Philharmonic, baritone Roderick Williams is among the UK’s and world’s most sought-after voices. He is an officer of Britain’s illustrious Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE), a distinction for his contributions to the arts and sciences. This recital is an immersion into a powerfully moving evening of Schubert’s full Schwanengesang (Swan Song) cycle, along with Williams-selected Schubert favorites. Joining Williams is Tigard’s own two-time Grammy-nominated pianist Myra Huang in her first Portland appearance.
