    Lauded for his “sonorous” voice (Opera News), American baritone Harrison Hintzsche is celebrated for his warm lyric tone, nuanced musicality, and profound dedication to text. He has been recognized as a young champion of art song—his “first love” in classical singing—and has a particular affinity for German, Scandinavian, British, and American repertoire. His interpretation of Schubert Lieder at London’s Wigmore Hall with pianist Graham Johnson was noted by Opera Today for its “strong sense of narrative” and “gentle poignancy.” He is joined by pianist Cade Roberts—an accomplished pianist as a solo recitalist, chamber musician and Lied pianist. Concert appearances have brought Roberts across the United States and Europe, including venues such as Carnegie Hall, DiMenna Center for Classical Music, Pärnu Concert Hall, and the Mozarteum Solitär.

    Where does this music come from?

    In this program, baritone Harrison Hintzsche traces the art of the Romantic song tradition in Scandinavia and Vienna—singing in Swedish, and German—over the course of the 19th and into the early 20th century. The link between these different cultural sensibilities is two Scandinavian cosmopolitans—Jean Sibelius and Wilhelm Stenhammar, who set German texts and their native Swedish with remarkable confidence and originality. At the center of this program is a selection of songs by Franz Schubert composed in the 1820s, which established the tradition of art song in Vienna for later Romantic composers such as Hugo Wolf and Alexander Zemlinsky. Hintzsche is joined by pianist Cade Roberts, who additionally will present solo keyboard works by Sibelius, Schubert and Zemlinsky, all of whom left rich legacies to this genre.
