About the event
This recital traces a tradition of Italian vocal expression, where song and aria alike are driven by drama, intensity, and emotional truth. Each work gives voice to themes such as love, longing, devotion, despair. Spanning centuries, the program reveals how Italian composers, whether in intimate settings or on the operatic stage, used the human voice as a vehicle for human expression, each moment suspended between beauty and the harsh reality of existence.
Presented by Eleanor Greenwood (soprano) and Bradley Gilchrist (piano).
