7:30 pm
Telus Studio Theatre, Chan Centre for the Performing Arts
6265 Crescent Rd, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z1

BENJAMIN APPL, baritone & JAMES BAILLIEU, piano

SCHUBERT: Die schöne Müllerin

A voice that belongs to the last of the old great masters of song.

— Süddeutsche Zeitung

Pre-concert talk: 45 mins before the performance in the Royal Bank Cinema

Benjamin Appl and James Baillieu closed out our 2022-23 Season with a recital that moved many in the audience to tears. It was one of the most deeply touching and brilliant performances we have presented. Immediately afterwards, a plan was hatched to bring these two remarkable artists back to Vancouver to perform Schubert’s three great song cycles. After a lot of back-and-forth, our calendars aligned and this Schubertian dream will be realized in the wonderfully intimate Telus Studio Theatre. Be sure to bring a handkerchief along with your ticket!

Anything but an accompanist, Baillieu was at least Appl’s expressive equal.
