Lorin Maazel Castleton Institute German Repertory Week

Early in October, I headed to NYC for a week-long intensive with the Lorin Maazel Castleton Institute. The focus of the intensive was the music of Richard Strauss and Wagner. I chose to focus on “Es gibt ein Reich” from R. Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos and “Einsam in trüben Tagen” from Wagner’s Lohengrin. I was fortunate enough to receive instruction and coaching from Dietlinde Maazel, Elizabeth Blancke-Biggs, Michael Recchiuti, and Eric Malson. The end of the program concluded with a concert that was filmed by renouned sound engineer Jeremy Gerard. Those recordings can be found on my media page.
