"Wilde Things" is a sharp-tongued program that explores the boundaries between art song and cabaret with wit and depth. At the center of the evening is the world premiere of a new work by Mexican composer Francisco Ladrón de Guevara, inspired by Oscar Wilde's biting social comedy The Importance of Being Earnest. The program is complemented by songs by Arnold Schönberg, Richard Strauss and Scott Ordway. With stylistic diversity and ironic subtlety, the program by soprano Julia Dawson and pianist Jess Rucinski moves between satire, absurdity and subtle psychology.
