APHRODITE PATOULIDOU & JULIUS DRAKE

This recital explores European folk traditions reimagined in art song. Soprano Aphrodite Patoulidou and pianist Julius Drake present works by Canteloube, Wolf, Ravel, Britten, Dvořák, and Sibelius, blending cultural heritage with original arrangements—enhanced by the nyckelharpa’s haunting presence in a journey from pastoral France to mythic Scandinavia and expressive Greece.
