Katherine Balch · Vidi l'angelo nel marmo

Vidi l'angelo nel marmo e scolpii fino a liberarlo (Michelangelo) Performed by Nina Guo and Eddie Kass (Departure Duo)

“Vidi l’angelo nel marmo e scolpi fino a liberalo”

[I saw an angel in the marble and carved until it was set free]

Press:

“The precocious talents of Katherine Balch transported one fragment of text by Michelangelo to an engaging narrative of complex intrigue that was realized with the virtuosity of soprano Justine Aronson and bassist Patrick Swoboda.”
