First Baptist Church (Spahr Center)
An intimate program evoking the famous house concerts in early 19th-c. Vienna, where Schubert and his friends played and sang. AF favorite tenor Karim Sulayman sings poignant lieder selections, including Der Erlkönig and songs from Schubert’s great song cycle, Die Winterreise. Violinist Olivier Brault leads a delightful romp through the famous “Trout” Quintet, with colleagues Karina Schmitz, René Schiffer, and Sue Yelanjian. Guest fortepianist Yi-heng Yang (of the Juilliard faculty) joins AF for this special concert, playing a beautiful Bösendorfer-Graf fortepiano.
