SHRIVER HALL CONCERT SERIES
BALTIMORE, MD
Megan collaborates on Brahms "Zwei Gesange" Op. 91, plus the world premiere of Jessica Meyer's On fire...no, after you, commissioned by BMI. The new piece is composed to a set of three poems by Jennifer Beattie that encapsulate the extreme emotional dynamics experienced when falling for someone. Meyer says, "The viola and a mezzo voice is a favorite pairing of mine ever since first performing the Brahms songs as a violist myself. I have also been singing a lot more lately, so I will be looking forward to using all of the sounds and colors I know can be executed on both 'instruments' in order to express Beattie's evocative text."

ON THE TOWN
CLAIRE
OPERA NAPLES
NAPLES, FLORIDA
On the Town is a musical based on the 1944 ballet Fancy Free, developed by Leonard Bernstein and Jerome Robbins with book and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green. New York City’s pomp and fanfare sets the stage for this story of three sailors looking for love in a whirlwind 24-hour adventure, before heading off to battle in World War II. Bernstein introduced several popular and classic songs which remain some of his biggest Broadway hits to date. The appealing musical score, youthful exuberance of characters and the unique moment in history make On the Town a true American classic! The production is led by Ramon Tebar at the podium.

OCTET - MEZZO 2
THE METROPOLITAN OPERA
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
When Australian composer Brett Dean’s Hamlet had its world premiere at the Glyndebourne Festival in 2017, The Guardian declared, “New opera doesn’t often get to sound this good … Shakespeare offers a gauntlet to composers that shouldn’t always be picked up, but Dean’s Hamlet rises to the challenge.” Now, this riveting contemporary masterpiece arrives at the Met, with Neil Armfield, who directed the work’s premiere, bringing his acclaimed staging to New York. Many of the original cast members have followed, including tenor Allan Clayton in the title role. Nicholas Carter makes his Met debut conducting a remarkable ensemble, which also features soprano Brenda Rae as Ophelia, mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly as Gertrude, baritone Rod Gilfry as Claudius, and legendary bass John Tomlinson as the ghost of Hamlet’s father.
