MasterVoices will showcase “Night Songs and Love Waltzes” on Friday, March 1, 2019.

The performance, which will take place at Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center, will feature the ensemble’s 120 singers in a program of music by Johannes Brahms, Felix Mendelssohn, Clara and Robert Schumann, and Franz Schubert. There will also be a World Premiere performance of Ricky Ian Gordon’s “Life Is Love” as well as the New York Premiere of “Night Waltzes,” as arranged by MasterVoices’ Artistic Director Ted Sperling.

The performance will also feature renowned opera stars Nicole Cabell, Kate Aldrich, Nicholas Phan, and Nmon Ford in a series of select pieces.

“With ‘Night Songs and Love Waltzes,’ we evoke a time when enjoying music at home meant you had to make it yourself — singing with friends, either a cappella or gathered around a piano, or joined by other musicians,” Sperling noted in a press release. “I’ve wanted to program Brahms’ enchanting Liebeslieder Waltzes for a long time and we shaped the evening around this marvelous collection of short songs, which features soloists, chorus, and duo piano, inviting an outstanding roster of guest artists to make music with us.

“With songs by important Romantic-era composers, and works by contemporary geniuses Ricky Ian Gordon and Stephen Sondheim, interspersed with inspired piano pieces, we hope to create the sense of bonhomie that filled those long-gone salons.”
