Join us as we continue our Liederabend series where we will present works of the founders of this ‘new’ style of singing in a less formal setting.
ABOUT A CELEBRATION OF BEL CANTO
The YST Voice Department presents a semester-long celebration of bel canto (“beautiful singing”), exploring the artistry and enduring legacy of this defining vocal tradition.
Through performances and our Voice Discovery Series, we will present music from composers who are credited with the birth of the Bel Canto style of singing, all the way through to modern composers whose works are still influenced by the concepts inherent in it.
