Love and Longing in Lieder: Song Cycles by Robert Schumann and Richard Wagner

A Sunday afternoon recital of two romantic song cycles — a pairing that pairs Schumann's *Frauenliebe und -leben* with Wagner's *Wesendonck Lieder* — performed by singer Rose Guccione and collaborative pianist Paul Dykstra at Budlong Woods on September 13 at 2 PM. Guccione also runs the city's most reliably dramatic singing-telegram service at OperaGram.com; Dykstra is an international touring pianist. A refined, 60-minute option for a low-key Sunday afternoon, presented in a neighborhood library setting. Sign-language interpretation is available if requested at least 14 business days in advance.
