World-renowned British Tenor Ian Bostridge makes his first appearance at UCLA Live Wednesday March 24 at 8 p.m. performing Schubert’s Winterreise in its entirety.
Composed in 1827 and based on the poems of Wilhelm Müller, Winterreise was influential in the new-romantic aesthetic of German lied. The cycle of 24 songs tells a dramatic narrative of lost love.
Bostridge is hailed as a leading interpreter of the lied form thanks to his nuanced, emotive voice, tonal perfection and expressive style. His international recital career includes performances at the world’s major concert halls and the Salzburg, Edinburgh, Munich, Vienna, Aldeburgh and Schebertiade Festivals.
Celebrated chamber pianist Julius Drake will accompany Bostridge.
Bostridge also will provide a special demonstration performance at Royce Hall Thursday March 25 for 1,200 Los Angeles public school students as part of UCLA Live’s educational outreach program Design for Sharing.
