Lebanese-American tenor Karim Sulayman has garnered international attention as a sophisticated and versatile artist, consistently praised for his sensitive and intelligent musicianship, riveting stage presence, and beautiful voice. Winner of the Grammy Award for his debut album Songs of Orpheus, Sulayman performs songs by Reynaldo Hahn on the new release from Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective and will give a recital of French Art Song with pianist Shannon McGinnis later this month.
