If you are in the Menomonie, WI area this Saturday 29 March (and this includes all of you, my Twin Cities friends; just a little over an hour’s drive east), I hope you can join Jerry Hui (baritone) and Phillip Dorn (piano) for a performance of music the heart remembers in an evening of romance and heartache spanning centuries of poets’ and composers’ wallowing in sheer, unrestrained love of love.
The performance is at 7:00pm on 29 March at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Menomonie, WI.
The concert will feature Schumann’s Dicterliebe with words by Heiner, Wolf’s Eichendorff Lieder with poetry by, erm, Eichendorf, my very own Time Sonnets with poetry by Shakespeare (I think his first name was Fred), and Jerry Hui’s Chamber Music with words by Joyce.
It should be a fantastic evening of blissful miscontent, as we all know that allowing melancholy to consume us is a smorgasbord for our vibrance, indeed, through and through, to be sure!
