Over the course of a week, lyric baritone Konstantin Krimmel will perform Schubert’s three iconic song cycles: Die schöne Müllerin, Winterreise, and Schwanengesang. In his North American debut at the Park Avenue Armory last February, Krimmel enthralled audiences with his Schubert lieder-centered program. He was joined by renowned pianist Ammiel Bushakevitz, who once again accompanies him here. Krimmel has earned praise across Europe for his unique voice, huge dynamic range, and deep expressivity. In a still early career, he is already establishing himself as one of the great lieder singers of our age.

Wed, Dec 3: Die schöne Müllerin, D. 795
Fri, Dec 5: Winterreise, D. 911
Sun, Dec 7: Schwanengesang, D. 957
