Countertenor Jeffrey Palmer and pianist Irena Portenko explore the concept of “hygge” — a Nordic word for “cozy” — through music.
This eclectic program features a selection of arias and art songs by such composers as Handel, Debussy and Schubert.
The evening’s program also includes new settings of traditional Irish and Icelandic melodies, an original a cappella arrangement of a piece by Huang Ruo, and the New York premiere of a solo piano work by 17-year-old composer Benjamin Araujo.
Hygge takes place at the Weill Recital Hall, 7.30pm January 8 (New York time). Visit the Carnegie Hall website for more information and tickets.
