 I am super excited to be making my Lincoln Center debut, teaming up once again with the Mark Morris Dance Group and their music director, pianist Colin Fowler in Brahms' Liebeslieder-Waltzer.
PROGRAM DETAILS “Indisputably the most musical choreographer alive” (New York Times), Mark Morris illuminates music by Monteverdi, Brahms, and Schubert with his kinetic, witty, poetic dancemaking. The program opens with two dances that reveal the intricacies of romantic love—1989’s buoyant Love Song Waltzes set to Brahms’s Liebeslieder-Walzer for voice and piano four hands, and 1996’s I Don’t Want to Love, a revelatory exploration of some of Monteverdi’s most lovelorn madrigals. The performance culminates with a highly anticipated world premiere that brings new life and lift to Schubert’s enchanting chamber-music masterpiece, the “Trout” Quintet. VENUE Rose Theater Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts New York City PERFORMANCE DATES

Lucas Wiegerink (composer) It is a tremendous honor to be a part of New York City's New Year's celebrations in the monumental Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, playing in the U.S. premiere a new choral work directed by the one and only Kent Tritle.
Description: Founded by Leonard Bernstein in 1984, the annual New Year's Eve Concert for Peace is a signature Cathedral event, gathering old friends and new for more than a quarter of a century. This year we begin with Haydn's glorious Te Deum and continue with the U.S. premiere of See the Wretched Strangers by Lucas Wiegerink. A series of songs about our shared Earth continues the theme of neighborly compassion and the renewal of hope for the coming year. Wrapping up this year's performance, we celebrate the concert's founder by performing chorales from Leonard Bernstein's own Mass. Admission: A limited number of general admission seats are free and open to the public, on a first-come, first-served basis. Ticketed seating is also available, starting at $40.
