October hears bass-baritone JASON GRANT in performances throughout the US
October hears bass-baritone Jason Grant in performances throughout the U.S. He began the month with Louis Langrée and the Houston Symphony, singing Beethoven Symphony No. 9, and then joined JoAnn Falletta and the Virginia Symphony for a critically acclaimed Brahms Requiem: “He shaped every phrase carefully, using clear diction and dramatic presentation to get at deeper meaning. In balance with the orchestra, his softest singing had the effect of fine chamber music while he became more operatic with his full force.” The Virginian-Pilot, Oct. 12, 2009. This week Grant sings the Mozart Requiem with the San Diego Symphony and Jahja Ling, and then reunites with Robert Spano and the Atlanta Symphony for Stravinsky’s Le Rossignol (also featuring Colbert soprano Celena Shafer) for dates in Athens, GA, and at Carnegie Hall.
