We are excited to welcome back two awesome alums, Dylan Sauerwald and Corinne Byrne, back to campus at our next Baroque Sundays at Three on 9/6. This special program titled The Innermost Heart: Songs and Keyboard works of the German Baroque will showcase these two powerhouse performers. Since graduating, these two have both made their own varied careers that have impacted our field. Read a little bit more about what they have been up to.
Bios:
Dylan Sauerwald is a distinctive historical keyboardist and conductor. At the keyboard, he has been praised for his “fleet fingers” and “sophisticated playing,” (Capriccio), and as a conductor, his productions have been called “heart-wrenching and self-reflecting” (OperaWire). Dylan has performed in venues from New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art to Taipei‘s National Recital Hall, and his playing is featured in the BBC historical drama Poldark.
A champion of early opera, he has led productions of rarely-performed works acclaimed as “refined and flexible,” (Boston Globe) “fearless,” (Voce di Meche) and “a remarkable musical experience” (OperaWire). Dylan also directs Polyphemus, an early music collective, and is Director of Music Ministry at Green’s Farms Church in Westport, CT.
Grammy® nominated soprano Corrine Byrne has made solo appearances with the Boston Pops, Boston Ballet, the American Classical Orchestra, the Boston Symphony Orchestra Chamber Players, and the New York Chamber Orchestra at Carnegie Hall. Byrne sings regularly with Emmanuel Music and Lorelei Ensemble, including on their recently GRAMMY® nominated album: Beaufort Scales (Chris Cerrone). Byrne has sung extensively with ground-breaking vocal ensemble Cut Circle (runner-up for 2024 Gramophone award), and is the co-founder of both Ensemble Musica Humana and The Byrne:Kozar:Duo, recently featured on NPR, American Public Media‘s Performance Today, and New Yorker Magazine’s 2017 Notable Recordings. She is currently serving as Artistic Director of Midday Melodies: a Dana-Farber Concert Series, and is faculty at Harvard University‘s Holden Voice Program and Longy School of Music at Bard College.
