New single

a taste of the next album from NYFOS Records!

Theo Hoffman sings Schubert with guitarist Rupert Boyd 

“Du bist die Ruh” is the first taste of our upcoming album, Schubert / Beatles, to be released on January 31, 2025, featuring Hoffman, pianists Steven Blier and Kunal Lahiry, and special guests soprano Julia Bullock and tenor Andrew Owens. Pre-order your copy here!

“We are so excited to bring you a first glimpse of this unique and inventive album,” said Theo Hoffman. “Schubert’s famous ‘Du bist die Ruh,’ masterfully arranged and performed by guitarist Rupert Boyd, acts as the nucleus of the CD, bringing these prolific masters of song closer together. In both the recording studio and the concert hall, this song often gets put on a pedestal as an overly precious specimen of Heilige Kunst. In my mind, performing it with guitar (instead of the original piano) is the perfect way to remind the listener of what this actually is — a beautiful song of the early Romantic period meant to be enjoyed by everyone, not just art song fans.”  Learn more

“Each concert this season offers the kind of cultural richness that has marked our performances for the last four decades. One of our oldest mottos was, ‘No two alike!,’ and that guideline is at its peak this season. The range of music, the charisma of the performers, and the exploration of beauty in all its variety will make for a potent season of song. We can’t wait to share it all with you!” — Steven Blier
