Dawn Upshaw and Emanuel Ax perform songs of Schumann and Chopin
Dawn Upshaw
Dawn Upshaw, soprano

The art songs of the Romantic period require sensitivity as well as true partnership between singer and pianist. Soprano Dawn Upshaw and pianist Emanuel Ax collaborate on the songs of Schumann and Chopin. Their performance is sure to show all the beauty of this marriage of poetry and music.

“Upshaw was singled out by the MacArthur Foundation as a ‘master vocalist’ . . . a singer who is stretching the boundaries of operatic and concert singing and enriching the landscape of contemporary music."—National Public Radio

Read an article about Chopin, Schumann, and the fateful intersection of their lives and careers.
