Hailed by the New York Times as, “expressive yet dignified…” GRAMMY® winning countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen makes Vocal Arts DC debut with San Francisco Opera’s Head of Music, pianist John Churchwell!
Adept as a performer of Baroque and contemporary music, countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen has a reputation as “a redefining force in the countertenor field” (Limelight). With his unique contralto-esque color and precise coloratura, he has excelled in numerous Handel roles (including Medoro in Orlando, Ottone in Agrippina, and Unulfo in Rodelinda) and made a memorable role debut as Oberon in Adelaide Festival’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Britten).
In this sweeping program centered around the beauty found in nature, Nussbaum Cohen presents “Departures,” a wide range of repertoire never before sung by countertenor. The program includes music by Handel, Korngold, Brahms, Price, and Adams, alongside a newly composed song set by Jake Heggie. Robert Schumann’s song cycle, Liederkreis Op. 39, which Schumann wrote to his wife was “my most romantic music yet, with much of you in it,” rounds out this moving and memorable evening.
