Winter's chill is reimagined through Schubert's timeless Winterreise. The stark beauty of the original song cycle, performed by Emmanuel Music tenor Willliam Hite and pianist Jiayan Sun is paired with its modern echo: Hans Zender's haunting, fragmented reinterpretation for solo voice and orchestra featuring tenor Nicholas Phan. Zender strips away romantic veneer, revealing a raw, visceral landscape of isolation. Explore the enduring power of Schubert's masterpiece through two distinct yet intertwined performances, and hear about them in conversation with Willliam Hite, Nicholas Phan, and artistic director Ryan Turner.
