Katherine Rohrer, newly appointed School of Music assistant professor of voice, presents her Ohio State debut recital tonight, Monday, September 23, at 8 pm in Weigel Hall Auditorium, 1866 College Rd. The performance will couple traditional repertoire with lesser-known works, including song cycles by Robert Schumann and Louis Aubert. Selections will highlight the passion of love with ultimate personal loss.
Rohrer, mezzo-soprano, balances the rigors of traditional and mainstream repertoire with some of today's most celebrated composers. She has garnered critical acclaim in recent performances as Nicklausse/Muse in Les Contes d'Hoffmann with Opera Colorado and Florida Grand Opera; Marguerite in La Damnation de Faust with Oper Frankfurt, the Malaysian Philharmonia, and the Saint Louis Symphony; the role of Lady Macbeth in Bloch's rarely heard Macbeth with London University's College Opera; and her first Pilgrim in Saariaho's L'Amour de Loin with Vlaamse Opera.Videos
