Sarah Shafer Sings German, French Repertoire At Gilmore

Vanessa Briceño

Studying at the Curtis Institute and spending summers at the Marlboro Festival has surrounded soprano Sarah Shafer with individuals of extraordinary artistry. But in an interview with Cara Lieurance, Shafer says getting to know some of world's leading classical musicians as people was as valuable as learning their technique.

Eminent American pianist Richard Goode was someone who saw Shafer's promise early on. He recommended that she be admitted to the Marlboro Festival in 2010. At the 2016 Gilmore International Keyboard Festival on May 12, they performed a program of German and French songs.

Cara Lieurance is the local host of NPR's All Things Considered on 1021 WMUK and covers local arts & culture on Let's Hear It on 89.9 Classical WMUK weekday mornings at 10 - 11 am.
