Grammy award-winning bass-baritone, Dashon Burton opens this program with a mixed set of art song and German lieder, featuring selections from Schumann’s Dichterliebe (Poet’s Love) and Margaret Bond’s incisive settings of Langston Hughes. Paired with Felix Mendelssohn’s second piano trio, with a final quotation of the Psalm 100 Doxology, this production explores praise and rejection.
