Full program notes

Lili Boulanger’s « clairières dans le ciel » are a towering achievement from a promising composer who died tragically young. Sister of the famous pedagogue Nadia Boulanger, Lili’s songs are among the finest impressionistic songs in the French repertoire.

We pair selections from this cycle with delightful cabaret songs by Kurt Weill, Thomas Adès, and Nkeiru Okoye.
