Description

About This Performance

“[Miah] Persson has thought deeply about what the music and words meant to her and how to express that as clearly as possible to the listener” (New York Classical Review). This Swedish soprano rewards audiences with an intelligent and personable approach to everything she sings, with each song, phrase, and note supported by her background in stage and recital work. She is joined by compatriot Magnus Svensson, who is a highly regarded accompanist and choice partner of many leading singers. “His enjoyment and interpretation of the music was very palpable and helped to bring together a very successful concert” (Bachtrack).
