Highlights include Debussys epic setting of Paul Verlaine, Ariettes oubliées sung by soprano Kristina Bachrach and Ravel’s dashing Don Quichotte à Dulcinée performed by Steven LaBrie (BASS debut). Additional artists include mezzo soprano Samantha Malk, baritone Jesse Blumberg, and pianists Brent Funderburk and Miori Sugiyama.
