Rising Stars of Voice

Emerging vocalists perform Johannes Brahms's enchanting love waltzes under expert guidance from James Baillieu.

Rising Stars offers the world a glimpse at the future of classical music. This edition of our Rising Stars concerts focuses on vocalists on the cusp of their careers, nurtured and inspired by a professional mentor.

The up-and-coming singers perform Brahms’s Liebeslieder Waltzes, a set of heartfelt love songs. Setting folk-inspired poetry by Georg Friedrich Daumer, Brahms moves effortlessly between joy, longing, and playful mischief. Originally written for intimate salon performances, the waltzes became widely popular, with Brahms himself often playing the piano parts alongside Clara Schumann.
