Soprano Barbara Bonney Performs on March 3 By Charity Johnson ‘99
			PHOTOGRAPHY JAMES MCMILLAN Soprano Barbara Bonney, joined by pianist Margo Garrett, will perform works by Schumann, Schubert, and Liszt on Sunday, March 3, at 8:00 P.M. in Finney Chapel. Tickets for the concert, part of the Oberlin Artist Recital Series, range from $7 for students to $18 for the public, and can be purchased from Central Ticket Service at x8169. The program will include Robert Schumann’s song cycle Dichterliebe, various songs from the song cycles of Franz Schubert, and der Fischerknabe, Mignon, Freudvoll und Leidvoll, Im Rhein im schönen Strome, and Die Lorelei by Franz Liszt. Bonney has been praised for her radiant tone and the engaging warmth of her personality, as well as for her stylistic versatility in a broad repertoire that ranges from the baroque to 20th-century music. She has been featured in over 70 recordings, for such major labels as London/Decca, Deutsche Grammophon, Teldec, Angel/EMI, and Philips. Bonney regularly performs at the Metropolitan Opera, the Vienna Staatsoper, the Royal Opera, Covent Garden, and the Opera Bastille and Chatelet, Paris. She has also appeared with the Vienna Philharmonic, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony, the Berlin Radio Symphony, and London's Philharmonia, as well as the English Concert, the Concentus Musicus Wien, and the English Baroque Soloists. A champion of the Lieder recital, Bonney regularly performs songs of Mendelssohn, Clara Schumann, Benjamin Britten, and Zemlinsky, along with more familiar works by Schubert, Robert Schumann, and Hugo Wolf. Bonney frequently gives masterclasses for young singers at major festivals and in music capitals worldwide, often pairing them with her own recitals. Pianist Margo Garrett has performed with artists throughout the world in chamber, instrumental and vocal recitals. She has been heard in concert for almost 30 years with a large roster of internationally renowned artists, and her recordings include Dawn Upshaw’s critically acclaimed "White Moon" on Nonesuch, and Kathleen Battle’s Grammy Award winning Carnegie Hall debut recital on Deutsche Grammophon, among many others. As a faculty member for 19 years of the Tanglewood Music Center’s Vocal Program and director of that program for the last six of those years, Garrett has coached and performed with many of today’s finest young vocalists and collaborative pianists.
