San Francisco Performances continues its 35th season of "bringing great artists center stage" with mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke accompanied by Julius Drake on piano.
Elegant and versatile mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke swept into the Bay Area this past January, demonstrating in that San Francisco Performances debut that her strongest presence is arguably felt in the intimate recital. The San Francisco Examiner enthused, "Cooke, San Francisco Symphony and Opera favorite, conquered once again with a great voice, so rich in legato, wonderful diction in German, French, and English, and unaffected warmth and charm-no surprise there."
Radiant, Grammy(R)-Award winning, Cooke triumphed as the title role in the world premiere of Mark Adamo's The Gospel of Mary Magdalene at San Francisco Opera. She was hailed by the San Francisco Examiner for "her soaring and warm voice, crystalline diction and regal yet endearing presence" Ms. Cooke as Mary was "the glory of the production". Acclaimed by The New York Times as a "luminous standout" for her performances in chamber music, the versatile young mezzo has also been celebrated by The New Yorker for a "luminous tone, a generously supported musical line, a keen sense of verbal nuance, and a flair for seduction."
Her program on March 6 will be the following:
HAYDN: Songs from Arianna a Naxos MAHLER: Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen Wenn mein Schatz Hochzeit macht Ging heut morgen ubers Feld Ich hab' ein gluhend Messer and Die zwei blauen Augen von meinem Schatz LISZT: Wieder mocht ich dir begegnen Lasst mich ruhen, Was Liebe sei, No. 3 Des Tages laute Stimmen schweigen Blume und Duft and Die Lorelei GRANADOS: Selections from Tonadillas
