A Final Flourish with Cappella Clausura
[…] Amelia created a unique celebration with commissions to young BIPOC composers setting the texts of Abigail Adams, Phillis Wheatley, and Lucy Stone. Each young composer was asked to utilize early music instruments, therefore educating themselves and the audiences about these beautiful old sounds.

In complete contrast, came a sensitive account of Frank Bridge's Come to me in my dreams, touching and concentrated.Deirunas Jasiulionis (tenor) and Fang-Lin Liu (piano) gave us two songs from Robert Schumann's Myrthen. Freisinn was full of swagger and vigour with admirably firm piano accompaniment, then Zum Schluss was lyrical. Jasiulionis has quite an intense voice, and I wondered whether he might have been better served by more vividly 20th century music. Elia Farreras Cabero (soprano) and Lucas Huber Sierra (piano) paired Schumann with Wolf. […]
