Friends of Chamber Music: Erin Morley and Malcolm Martineau
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
One of today’s most sought-after coloratura sopranos, Erin Morley is praised for the “silken clarity of her voice and the needlepoint precision of her coloratura” (New York Times). Joining her in recital is pianist Malcolm Martineau, who is recognized as one of the leading collaborative pianists of his generation.
Presented by Friends of Chamber Music.
“One of the best singers in the world right now.” OperaWire (Morley)
