Betany Coffland and Aaron Larget-Caplan

Acclaimed musicians, mezzo-soprano Betany Coffland and classical guitarist Aaron Larget-Caplan will explore French, Spanish, English and Chinese cultures through the program “Passion and Thought in Song”. The artists’ music pulls from three centuries including lute songs and a cantata by John Dowland and G.F. Handel, love songs and dances by Reynaldo Hahn and Manuel De Falla and sounds of Eastern philosophies through Benjamin Britten’s Song for the Chinese.
