In a free three-part lecture, esteemed tenor Ian Bostridge examines the capacity of music to capture the otherwise indescribable phenomena of life: identity, existence, and death.

It’s been a strange, difficult year for the music world, which is all the more reason to celebrate musical excellence.

Mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung and pianist Eugenia Cheng complete their summer-long, socially-distanced undertaking: a complete virtual duet of Schubert’s Winterreise.

It’s hard to overstate just how impressive this performance’s lineup is.

Ahead of the esteemed duo’s performance at UChicago Presents, Tal & Groethuysen, who first joined forces in 1985, visited WFMT for an Impromptu of piano four-hands music by Mozart, Schubert, Louis Théodore Gouvy.
