The the final recital in LIEDER ALIVE’s 2022/23 season will be led by cellist Oliver Herbert, who will be accompanied by Carlos Ágreda at the piano. They will be joined by soprano Esther Rayo for a performance of the first of the two movements in the fifth of the nine Bachianas Brasileiras compositions by Heitor Villa-Lobos. This work was originally scored for soprano and an orchestra of cellos. However, the instrumental accompaniment will be rearranged by Ágreda for a single cello and piano. Both of them will also perform an assortment of South American songs.

This program will take place on Sunday, May 28. The performance will begin at 5 p.m., and doors will open at 4:30 p.m. As usual, the venue will be the Noe Valley Ministry, which is located at 1021 Sanchez Street, between 23rd Street and Elizabeth Street. Tickets are being handled through an Eventbrite event page. $80 seats are available for the VIP Reserved section. General Admission is $40 with a $25 rate for students, seniors, and working artists.
