They are accompanied by pianists Dan Franklin Smith and Kathryn Olander.
“Francesca and I have selected some pieces that we each love to sing. I’m especially excited to present Vaughn Williams’ ‘Songs for Travel’—this will be the first time I perform it,” Bouk told OperaWire. “The recital will offer a chance to sit with beautiful music, talk with interesting people over wine and chocolate in an intimate setting. It’s a salon with art song at the center of the evening.”
