In late March 2022, the Artist Series run by the Conservatory of Music at Wheaton College presented two concerts of Morten Lauridsen’s music. I was very fortunate to be asked to write the program notes, and on March 25, I hosted and introduced each of the pieces for the “Vocal Music of Morten Lauridsen,” a recital of solo songs and mixed duets, presented by baritone Jeremy Huw Williams, soprano Monica Griffin Hunter, and pianist Paula Fan. I’ve included here some of the other images from the original program. These events were the highlight of my career last academic year (2021-2022).
