About the Performance
We regret to announce that Susan Graham is unable to participate in this master class on Tuesday, August 18. Frederica von Stade remains scheduled to lead the Steans fellows in this special offering.
The lineup for the recital on Sunday, August 16, remains unchanged: both Susan Graham and Frederica von Stade will perform alongside pianist Kevin Murphy. If you have any questions, please contact the Box Office at 847-266-5100 or email tickets@ravinia.org.
The Singers Program at the Steans Institute provides an exceptional opportunity for 15 classical vocalists to explore the rich world of art song. Fellows immerse themselves in diverse aspects of the repertoire, including style, technique, language, and performance. Throughout the program, fellows collaborate closely with a team of accomplished musicians and educators, gaining personalized mentorship that nurtures both artistic growth and career aspirations.
In addition to several afternoon concerts presented during the summer, the musicians participate in a series of public master classes, where the faculty or a Ravinia guest artist provide in-the-moment insights on the fellows’ performances of excerpts from their repertoire, guiding both the growth of their interpretations and sharing the experience with all in attendance.
