About:
Ryan De Ryke and Daniel Schlosberg perform music by Doug Lofstrom.
Ryan De Ryke, baritone and Daniel Schlosberg, piano, with Kimberley Jones, soprano, and Doug Lofstrom and the New Quartet.
De Ryke and Schlosberg perform songs from the new Divine Art/Diversions release “Myths and Accidents.” Doug Lofstrom and the New Quartet open the show with a short set of instrumentals featuring Lofstrom originals along with music by Piazzolla and Ellington. De Ryke and Schlosberg follow with two song cycles from the album and are joined by Kim Jones and the quartet to perform two scenes from Lofstrom’s opera Two Soldiers.
Ryan de Ryke, baritone, is an artist whose versatility and unique musical presence have made him increasingly in demand on both sides of the Atlantic. The Baltimore Sun hailed him as “a talent that seems to defy labels… he delivers a naturally beautiful sound that penetrates to one’s inner core.” His performance of Telemann’s Pimpinone in Haymarket Opera’s production was selected by the Chicago Tribune as one of the top ten classical concerts of 2019.
Pianist Daniel Schlosberg has appeared with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in numerous chamber music and new music concerts, has premiered Augusta Read Thomas’s Starlight Ribbons and given the US premiere of Kaija Saariaho’s Calices with violinist Austin Wulliman. He has recorded for the Albany, Bridge, New World, Nimbus, Jacaranda and Permelia labels and is on the faculty of Notre Dame University.
Soprano Kimberly Jones is an alum of the Ryan Opera Center of Lyric Opera of Chicago. Her performances there include the slave girl, Margru, in the world premiere of Anthony Davis' Amistad, which was released nationally on the New World recording label. Kimberly performed in Houston Grand Opera's colorful production of the Magic Flute (Papagena), and sang the role of Clara in their production of Porgy and Bess. She has received numerous grants and awards and was presented in Opera's Now magazine's "Who's Hot in Opera".
Ryan, Daniel and Kimberley are joined by Lofstrom, James Sanders (violin), Michael Levin (clarinet), Sarah Allen (percussion) and Leandro Lopez Varady (keyboard) of the New Quartet in two scenes from Two Soldiers as the evening’s finale.
