Description

Emerging vocalists perform Johannes Brahms's enchanting love waltzes under expert guidance from James Baillieu.

Rising Stars offers the world a glimpse at the future of classical music. This edition of our Rising Stars concerts focuses on vocalists on the cusp of their careers, nurtured and inspired by a professional mentor.

The up-and-coming singers perform Brahms’s Liebeslieder Waltzes, a set of heartfelt love songs. Setting folk-inspired poetry by Georg Friedrich Daumer, Brahms moves effortlessly between joy, longing, and playful mischief.
