Katherine Beck, Martin Luther Clark, Anthony Reed, and Chris Reynolds

This recital features four members of the Ryan Opera Center: mezzo-soprano Katherine Beck, tenor Martin Luther Clark, bass Anthony Reed, and pianist Chris Reynolds. They will perform music that spans four centuries all about the joy, happiness, and heartache of love. We’ll also hear a cabaret song from Germany regarded today as the first ‘gay anthem’.
