This spring I've been lucky to collaborate with my friend Cheryl Emery, who is a Canadian pianist I met at the Opera NUOVA program in 2011. She's studying in Graz this year with the world-renowned collaborative pianist Julius Drake, and I very fortunate to have the chance to coach with them both. Cheryl and I been travelling back and forth between Vienna and Graz, preparing Brahms' Zigeunerlieder and Berg's Sieben Frühe Lieder for Mr. Drake. Here are recordings of some of the Sieben Frühe Lieder, which we recently performed at Mr. Drake's Klassenabend at the Kunst Uni Graz.
