Brooklyn Art Song Society to Launch with Three Schubert Song Cycles

By Francisco Salazar

The Brooklyn Art Song Society (BASS) is set to launch its sixteenth season, Cycles, with all three of Franz Schubert’s song cycles performed in a single day.

The event will be on Oct. 12, 2025, at Roulette, where audiences will experience the full expressive range of Schubert’s genius.

The marathon opens at 3:00 p.m. with baritone Tyler Duncan and pianist Erika Switzer in “Die schöne Müllerin” and at 5:00 pm, tenor Paul Appleby joins pianist Ken Noda for “Winterreise.” The evening concludes at 7:00 pm with baritone Gregory Feldmann and pianist Michael Brofman in “Schwanengesang.”

In a statement, Paul Appleby said, “It is an honor to perform this iconic cycle with New York City’s most dedicated and impressive art song organization. I cherish this opportunity to share our deep love of Schubert with BASS’s passionate audience.”

The Schubert marathon marks the opening of Cycles, a season-long exploration of the most ambitious and emotionally expansive works in the art song repertoire.
