Brooklyn Art Song Society’s First World-Premiere Commission
Br
Hailed by The New York Times as “ambitious” and “a company well worth watching,” the Brooklyn Art Song Society will enter its third season of first-rate music making in the fall of 2012. Dedicated to the vast repertoire of poetry set to music, BASS presents programs of epic scope yet intimate at the same time. Past highlights have included performances of the complete songs of Charles Ives, Henri Duparc, and an ongoing project to present the complete works of Hugo Wolf. Internationally acclaimed guest artists have included tenor Paul Sperry, soprano Dominique Labelle, and Pulitzer-prize winning composer Yehudi Wyner. The 2012-2013 will feature a retrospective of the complete songs and representative piano works from Franz Schubert’s last year, featured composer Libby Larsen, Hugo Wolf’s Spanish Songbook and a world premiere commission by Marie Incontrera.
