Richard Goode and Sarah Shafer
Richard Goode, Piano
Sarah Shafer, Soprano
Accomplished artists of two generations will perform a dynamic program of music by Fauré, Brahms, and Schubert. Venerable virtuoso Richard Goode is known for performances of tremendous emotional power, depth, and expressiveness. A leading interpreter of works by Mozart and Beethoven, he is an exclusive Nonesuch recording artist who won a Grammy® Award for the Brahms Sonatas recorded with clarinetist Richard Stoltzman. He is on the Distinguished Artist Faculty of the Peabody Institute.
Star soprano Sarah Shafer has distinguished herself as equally comfortable with lieder and opera.

Une sainte en son auréole
Puisque l’aube grandit
La lune blanche luit dans les bois
J’allais par des chemins perfides
J’ai presque peur, en vérité
Avant que tu ne t’en ailles
Donc, ce sera par un clair jour d’été
N’est-ce pas?
L’hiver a cessé
