The Bienen School of Music offers an exciting lineup of voice and opera events this winter, featuring renowned artists and unique interdisciplinary performances.
Acclaimed soprano Sondra Radvanovsky will lead a public vocal master class, sharing her expertise in Verdi and bel canto singing. Soprano and scientist Heidi Moss Erickson will present a recital-lecture blending music, neuroscience and personal storytelling, recounting her inspiring recovery from a debilitating cranial nerve injury.
Later in the season, Bienen hosts soprano Karen Slack, celebrated for her artistry and advocacy for Black classical musicians, in a dynamic recital with pianist Mark Markham. Additionally, Northwestern University Opera Theater will stage Franz Lehár's "The Merry Widow," a comedic opera, updated to present-day Paris with new English dialogue, featuring a mix of romance, humor and charm.
