Jesse Blumberg, baritone
Michael Barrett, piano
Review in the NY Times
Review in QonStage -
"Andrew Haile Austin used texts by Walt Whitman and Oscar Wilde in a pairing of songs, 'O powerful western fallen star' and 'Apologia' respectively, and the result is a restless thrumming, seeking energy with much food for thought. Perfect in contrast to the pieces before and after, it gave Blumberg an opportunity to display pathos as well as technique."
