TITLE: A Woman’s Life        

Angela Brown
Olga Kern

BRIEF ABOUT: Richard Danielpour adapts the poetry of Maya Angelou to trace the universal experiences of womanhood, from childhood to old age. Described as “a perfect cycle” by the composer, this piece is a breathtaking vehicle for soprano Angela Brown, whose powerful, shimmering voice will capture the spirit of Angelou’s words. Dazzling pianist Olga Kern takes the stage for Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto, one of the most challenging and thrilling pieces of music ever-written, and the evening opens with the exuberant, Latin-flavored, Carnaval with Robert Sierra.
