Join MVE for an afternoon of art song that playfully and seriously explores the animalizing (and humanizing) that can arise under the sway of beasts and brutes. Featuring three world premieres from composers Francine Trester, Scott Wheeler and Christopher Berg, Guest Artistic Director Richard Lalli’s program also includes Tchaikovsky, Handel, Shostakovich and Hanns Eisler.
