Renowned mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke returns to Walk Festival Hall to perform a world premiere song cycle “about the connection of nature and the self” by Australian composer Alex Turley. Turley’s compatriot Andrea Lam also makes her GTMF debut on Mozart’s very popular Piano Concerto No. 23, the one with the slow movement to die for.
Join us for a pre-concert talk at 5 PM with Heather Kurzbauer, GTMF Violin, in the Barbara Furrer Goodman Memorial Garden near Walk Festival Hall’s north entrance. Talks are sponsored by the Goodman Family Foundation, in memory of Roy and Barbara Goodman.
