Le tour de France is a musical voyage to the four corners of France, from Brittany to the Riviera, ending with a deluxe stay in Paris. The program includes songs by Francis Poulenc, Joseph Canteloube, André Caplet, Gustav Mahler, Michel Legrand, Charles Trénet, and others, featuring the superb vocal talent of soprano Nicoletta Berry, mezzo-soprano Erin Wagner, tenor Daniel McGrew and baritone Theo Hoffman, with pianists Steven Blier and Bénédicte Jourdois.
NYFOS artistic director Steven Blier explains “This musical tour of France sweeps us from the rugged north to languid south, with stops in her cities, her countryside, her coastline, and her eastern border. We’re in expert hands: French pianist Bénédicte Jourdois, a musician of élan, panache, and savoir-faire, planned the concert with me. Our vocalists are a super-elegant team of NYFOS favorites, all of whom started their careers with us and are now denizens of halls like Carnegie and the Met. I cannot wait to share this gorgeous program with you.”
