Songbook is back for it’s eleventh edition!

The fantastic baritone Jorell Williams ( called “magnificent” by the New York Times) headlines this concert, alongside pianist and Women in Musical Leadership Conductor Jennifer Tung. The pair are joined by up-and-coming opera stars of tomorrow, who perform selected pieces from Tapestry’s beautiful back-catalogue.
