Picture
Picture
Vlad Soloviev describes the program as "a journey through love, memory, and longing".  It is essentially a brand new song cycle, assembled from the art songs of numerous composers from different times and places.  

It will comprise four parts:   Spring  -  The Dream  -  Distance  -  Love Remembered

In each part, Emily Rocha and Vlad Soloviev will perform a group of songs chosen to express the emotions of this unique journey in music.  This will be an event not to be missed!
