Our annual In Remembrance concert welcomes internationally acclaimed Canadian‑Italian baritone Brett Polegato. A regular presence on many of the world’s foremost stages—including Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, the Concertgebouw, the Opéra National de Paris, the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, and Wigmore Hall—Brett is recognized as one of today’s most sought‑after lyric baritones. Equally at home in opera and recital, he now joins us for his first ERS appearance.
He will be performing with our own Sarah Ho, piano.
