The Swedish mezzo soprano joins the vibrant string quartet for a concert that blends music by Schubert and singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright.
Swedish mezzo soprano Anne Sofie von Otter is one of the most respected singers of her generation, celebrated across the world’s opera stages and concert halls for the precision and care of her performances, and the sweetness of her voice. Her passions stretch beyond classical music, however, and she has previously collaborated with artists including singer-songwriter Elvis Costello and jazz pianist Brad Mehldau.

She is joined by New York’s vibrant Brooklyn Rider string quartet, themselves famed for their genre-straddling crossovers, in a concert blending music by Schubert and iconic singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright, also the composer of two operas.

Using the movements of Schubert’s powerful Death and the MaidenQuartet as a connecting thread, von Otter and Brooklyn Rider chart a compelling journey through love and death, bringing together new songs and instrumental pieces by Wainwright with selections from Schubert’s gripping song-cycle Winterreise, reimagined for string quartet by composer Osvaldo Golijov.
