Soprano Sharon Harms is featured on March 8, with pianist Joan Forsyth and guitarist William Anderson. Harms was praised as “superb”, “luscious-toned”, “extraordinarily precise and expressive”, and “dramatically committed and not averse to risk” — the New York Times George Crumb’s *Apparition*, a setting of Whitman’s “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed ” forms the heart of Sharon Harms’ program, with related works by BC composers Frank Brickle, Stephen Chatman, Rodney Sharman, and Jocelyn Morlock. Harms will join guitarist William Anderson in J. Benjamin Jones settings of texts by Federico Garcia-Lorca. The cycle is entitled, *Los niños*.
On March 4, Harms and Forsyth will give a preview, appearing on UBC’s Wednesdays at Noon, a series held at the UBC Music Building.
