Thursday, March 20, 2025 @ 7:30pm – 9:30pm (EDT)
Carnegie Hall (Weill Recital Hall), New York, NY, United States

Mezzo-soprano Fleur Barron and pianist Kunal Lahiry bring "The Power and the Glory" to Weill Recital Hall. Together, Fleur—who has been called "a knockout performer" by London's The Times—traverses 150 years of music and poetry, plus several traditions alongside BBC New Generation Artist Lahiry, whose technique at the keyboard has been called "orchestral in its scope and power" (The Times, London). The collaborative program presents a diverse and empathetic reflection on empires and identities, exploring colonial history through works by Montsalvatge, Valcárcel, Messiaen, Lecuona, G. Mahler, Schoenberg, I. Weber, Weill/Brecht, Delage, Kamala Sankaram, Ravel, Zubaida Azezi / Edo Frenkel, and Huang Ruo, plus a US premiere by Kian Ravaei and traditional Chinese selections.  

Join us for a free drink at a post-concert reception in Weill Recital Hall's Jacobs Room. Learn more: https://www.carnegiehall.org/Events/Concert-Extras/Salon-Encores

About Fleur Barron, mezzo-soprano

Fleur Barron's mezzo-soprano is "multi-layered and vibrant: imagine a voice that seems to have the blood in one’s viens and the life forces of nature running through it" (Opera News). Hailed as "a charismatic star" (The Boston Globe) and "a knockout performer" (The Times), the Singaporean-British artist possesses "incredible poise and expressive weight – not to mention a thrillingly dark and rich-veined mezzo, and a striking stage presence" (Seen and Heard International). Barron makes her Atlanta debut with Julius Drake, the "collaborative pianist nonpareil" (The New Yorker) who conjures "myriad pianistic moods with a masterly touch" (The Times).
