Following her thrilling 2023 recital debut with pianist Julius Drake, Singaporean-British mezzo Fleur Barron returns to PCMS with the “fearless, yet probingly beautiful” (The Strad) Parker Quartet. Their collaboration includes the premiere of a new song cycle for string quartet and voice by Anthony Cheung (co-commissioned by PCMS), as well as arrangements of Brahms’s and Mahler’s songs, and a selection from John Luther Adams’s stunningly serene The Wind in High Places.

J. L. Adams: The Wind in High Places (Sel.)
Cheung: The Field Remembers  Philadelphia Premiere/PCMS Co-Commission
Mahler: Der Einsame im Herbst from Das Lied von der Erde (Arr. Cheung)
