Brooklyn Art Song Society is set to present The Dicther Project: Paul Heyse.

The concert will be held on March 17, 2024, our annual Dichter Project returns to the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music.

The series has been exploring musical settings of the greatest German poets set by the greatest lieder composers, and this year’s installment will center on Paul Heyse, an early Nobel Prize winner for Literature. Hugo Wolf set Heyse’s translations of anonymous folk poetry in his Italienisches and Spanisches Liederbuches.

The concert will feature soloists soprano Kristina Bachrach, mezzo-soprano Devony Smith, tenor Dylan Morrongiello, baritone Sidney Outlaw, and pianists Danny Zelibor and Michael Brofman performing selections from the two collections of lieder.
