Coming up next on VoiceBox -- Lorraine Forever: On the peerless voice of Lorraine Hunt Lieberson

The magnificent American mezzo soprano Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, who had strong ties to the Bay Area, and died at a young age in 2006, is beloved by classical music industry insiders, but isn’t as well known to the broad public as she ought to be. Hard on the heels of the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra’s CD release of Hunt Lieberson’s interpretations of Handel arias and Les Nuits D’ete by Berlioz recorded in the 1990s, Philharmonia Baroque’s music director, Nicholas McGegan, joins VoiceBox host Chloe Veltman for a profile of this unforgettable vocalist.


The show airs on Friday, April 22, from 10-11pm at 91.7 FM. Or listen in anytime this week via KALW's on demand online local music player.
