Mezzo soprano Kindra Scharich with pianist Jeffrey LaDeur perform the celebrated Schumann Liederkreis Op. 39, one of the great song cycles of the 19th century — its hyper Romanticism evoking the splendid landscapes of these twelve songs. This 25 minute work is augmented by a selection of luscious Brahms lieder to make the 50 minute program.
Mezzo-soprano Kindra Scharich has performed recitals at the La Jolla Athenaeum and the Sala Cecilia Meireles in Rio de Janeiro among other prestigious venues. Among her recordings she counts the complete Mahler song cycles with the Alexander String Quartet. She has appeared at Opera Parallèle in Today It Rains and at West Edge Opera in Breaking the Waves. With pianist Jeffrey LaDeur she recently recorded a Beethoven / Schumann collection titled "My Distant Beloved."
