Join contralto Melissa Elsman and pianist Kathryn Southworth for Part Two of this lecture–recital exploring the later life and music of Pauline Viardot. Following her retirement from the operatic stage, she devoted herself to teaching and composing, leaving a legacy that continues to shape musicians more than a century later. Featuring works in French and Spanish, this program traces how Viardot's remarkable influence continues to shape musicians today—even here in Concord, New Hampshire.

The Bach's Lunch series is made possible in part through the generosity of the Walker Lecture Fund. Click here for more information on this Concord Community Music School Event.
