Uncharted
Thursday, February 13, 2025 7:30 PM Weill Recital Hall
Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen by Dario Acosta, John Churchwell by Cory Weaver
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.
