Contrasting Voices is the third and final concert in our Winter Concerts. These three highlighted the virtuosity of our artists and presented new works by living composers. Our March concert showcases the brilliance of the human voice in a variety of daring contemporary idioms.
GRAMMY-nominated soprano Laura Strickling returns to Concerts on the Slope in a variety of works, including a set from her very own 40@40 project. Alongside these poetic songs are a pair of new works by Nicky Sohn, and Robert Sirota's moving Contrapassos.
