Gratitude | Whitney Morrison & Tyson Deaton in Recital

Experience prize-winning soprano Whitney Morrison in recital with acclaimed pianist and conductor, Tyson Deaton. Praised for her “big, gleaming soprano” (Chicago Classical Review) and “vocally sumptuous” performances (Chicago Tribune), Morrison will demonstrate her renowned talents to the fullest with a diverse program that captures the mixed emotions of our “missing year,” when performances ceased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They will perform works by Mozart, Poulenc, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, and Strauss, as well as contemporary works by Friedrich Ochs, Daniel Catán, and H. Leslie Adams. This program is a celebration of gratitude for the opportunity to gather again in the concert hall, acknowledgement of the time spent at a distance from others, an expression of mourning for those we lost, and of renewal and hope for our future.
