“A rare economy of means and a strain of religious mysticism distinguish the music of James Primosch… Through articulate, transparent textures, he creates a wide range of musical emotion.” (The American Academy of Arts and Letters)

Vocal music by the late American master, curated and performed by one of his premiere interpreters, soprano Lucy Fitz Gibbon. Also featuring tenor Daniel McGrew, a NYFOS favorite, and brilliant pianist Ryan MacEvoy McCullough.

Regarding the concert and her late friend, Fitz Gibbon says, “Jim’s gentle demeanor belied a sardonic, self-effacing wit. His music too can quixotically change from soothing, beatific lines and harmonies to sharp-edged rhythms and clashing chords. In the pieces I chose for this program you will not only hear these qualities but also hear reflected some of his great loves—his deep and abiding Catholic faith, his musical forebears (both distant and immediate), his family—in what I hope will constitute a musical portrait of a man we lost too soon. I have selected many works that he specifically gave to me over the years, as well as others I often heard him speak about.”

A limited number of $10 student tickets are available here.

All audience members at Kaufman Music Center will be asked to show proof of vaccination for COVID-19 and to wear a mask. Please see their complete health and safety policy here.

Capacity at the Goodman Recital Hall will be very limited. For those not able to attend in person, a digital version of each of these programs will be offered online later this season. Please check back for more information after the live event.
