ARYEH NUSSBAUM COHEN
RECITAL
Vocal Arts DC
FEB 20, 2025
Kennedy Center Terrace Theater| Washington D.C.
​
Aryeh makes his debut in the Nation's capital, and his Kennedy Center debut. In this sweeping program centered around the beauty found in nature, Aryeh brings his “astonishingly beautiful” (The Guardian) tone to a wide range of repertoire. Heightened by the deeply sensitive playing of pianist John Churchwell, the program includes Korngold’s rarely performed Songs of Farewell; Robert Schumann’s Liederkreis Op. 39; works from Nussbaum Cohen’s Jewish heritage; songs by Black American composers Leslie Adams and Florence Price; and a new work by leading American composer Jake Heggie. Having recently recorded the program’s German song repertoire—never before recorded by a countertenor—this departure from the standard repertory of the voice type promises to create a moving and memorable evening.
