Tenor Kurt-Alexander Zeller and pianist Michiko Otaki present this musical exploration of the significance of transitions, endings, and loss.  The program highlights one of the composers they have performed most often together in their 23 years as a recital duo, Franz Schubert, beginning with his exquisitely poignant “Im Abendrot” (“At Sunset”) and continuing through his vivid portraits of the grief-ravaged character of the Harper from Goethe’s seminal Bildungsroman, Wilhelm Meister’s Apprentice Years, to the accepting comfort of his “Litany for All Souls’ Day.”  Also featured are Francesco Santoliquido’s Impressionistic settings of Italian translations from Persian mystic poetry and Samuel Barber’s last song compositions, the Three Songs, Op. 45, of 1974, written as he and his longtime companion, the composer Gian Carlo Menotti, closed up and sold Capricorn, the home they had shared for 30 years in Mt. Kisco, New York, ending a significant chapter of their lives together.
