Ever wanted to know more about a piece of classical music before going to the concert? Learn some of the 'how' and the 'why' a piece is composed during a pre-concert lecture with The Chorus of Westerly and presenter Kathryn Aaron.
About the presenter:
Kathryn Aaron, soprano, is an established interpreter of early vocal repertory. Her unique blend of musicality and scholarship encompasses a repertoire that spans from the liturgical drama of Hildegard von Bingen to the operatic fire of Handel and beyond. In regular demand as an oratorio singer, she has shared the stage as a soloist with Masaki Suzuki, Nic McGegan, Paul Hillier, and Simon Carrington. In 2020, she was appointed assistant conductor at the Chorus of Westerly where she leads the Foundations Chorus and is the song leader for the Westerly Threshold Singers. She holds degrees in vocal performance from Peabody Conservatory at Johns Hopkins University, the Jacob School of Music at Indiana University, and the Institute of Sacred Music at Yale University.
