On October 22, 2025, pianist Aleck Karis and Susan Narucki will be presenting a concert of songs for soprano and piano, ranging from the late Romantic music of French composer Cécile Chaminade to a relatively recent song cycle written by the American composer Allen Anderson. They will also be performing early twentieth century works with lush harmonies - rarely-heard songs by Alexander Zemlinsky and Anton Webern. In addition, Aleck Karis will be performing two short works for solo piano, one by Ravel and one by Poulenc, which will serve as a beautiful connecting thread.
"What I believe is magical about hearing classical art songs is that the audience hears great poetry come to life through the composer's imagination and our response to it, as performers. As a singer, I am fascinated by the seemingly endless range of emotional expression that I find within this intimate art form, and sharing that with audiences is my life's joy. We also utilize supertitles to create more immediacy for the listener. So I think our program will be interesting and appealing for people who've never attended a concert of a classical singer as well as those who attend classical music regularly." - Susan Narucki
