Carnegie Hall

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.
