SASHA COOKE, mezzo-soprano AND JASON VIEAUX

Mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke, whose portrayal of Kitty Oppenheimer with the Metropolitan Opera won the Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording, joins Jason for selected dates. They have collaborated at Music@Menlo and at the Kennedy Center, and this program focuses on music more naturally suited to the intimate and colorful magic of voice and guitar.
