Classical Up Close: Tenor Lawrence Brownlee

One of the great bel canto singers of our time, tenor Lawrence Brownlee is usually heard on the grand stages of the world, performing at the Metropolitan Opera, Teatro alla Scala, the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and many more. Now, hear him up close at The Greene Space at WQXR, with a special program that will demonstrate the full range of his gifts. Brownlee and accompanist Myra Huang will present a night devoted to all the music that is near and dear to his heart. He’ll sing some of the arias and art songs that are core to his artistic identity. Brownlee will also give a preview of the new song cycle about the black male experience, “Cycles of My Being,“ which he’ll perform next month at Carnegie Hall.
