Our 38th season reunites me with some beloved colleagues—a trio of powerhouse baritones, a pair of charismatic sopranos, and of course that force of nature known as Bénédicte Jourdois, who will partner with me at many of the Mainstage programs,” The season we’ve created is a series of duet concerts that place American song in consecutive dialogue with music from France, Germany, and South America. (There are, blessedly, no travel bans on song.) To expand our horizon, we’ll also offer our Caramoor program—a dazzling international collection of ocean voyages and river trips, filled with adventure and sensuality. I’m very eager to share the music with you!

featuring baritone Theo Hoffman, pianists Steven Blier and Kunal Lahiry, and special guests soprano Julia Bullock and tenor Andrew Owens. Listen now
First introduced to NYFOS audiences in NYC eight years ago as a thrilling live concert, this program pairs Schubert songs with Beatles songs on similar themes, and, in Blier’s words, “Lo and behold, the ‘Holy of Holies’ sits comfortably next to the ‘Oldie of Oldies’.” Yesterday and Im Frühling are hymns to lost love, while Der Wanderer an den Mond and She’s Leaving Home tell contrasting stories of young people cast adrift into the world.

This album was funded in part by a generous gift from Eileen Caulfield Schwab, in recognition of the featured Terrance W. Schwab Vocal Rising Stars program alumni: Julia Bullock, Theo Hoffman, & Andrew Owens.
