A Grammy Award nominee, Lawrence Brownlee’s voice has been praised by The New Yorker for his “sweet tone, fastidious pitch, and poetic phrasing.” He made his Baltimore Debut with Shriver Hall Concert Series on February 23, 2020, in a program that pairs song cycles considering the experiences of young men, though on different continents in different eras. 

Alban Gerhardt has, for 25 years, made a unique impact on audiences worldwide with his intense musicality, compelling stage presence, and insatiable artistic curiosity. He was joined by longtime recital partner pianist Cecile Licad. Acclaimed as “a particularly fine duo, working emotionally in unison" (The Telegraph, London), they performed a program of Bach, Beethoven, Debussy, and Franck’s luminous sonata in Shriver Hall on November 10, 2019.

Over the past two decades, the Jerusalem Quartet has consistently garnered accolades and acclaim for its “passion, precision, warmth, a gold blend” (The Times, London).
