Soprano Golda Schultz, presented by Princeton University Concerts

South African soprano Golda Schultz has been gracing the stage of the world's greatest opera houses-from the Metropolitan Opera to the Vienna State Opera. Equally at home in leading operatic roles as she is as a soloist with the world's foremost orchestras and in the most venerated recital halls, she has quickly become a leading voice in a new generation of star singers. For her Princeton University Concerts debut, she brings the extraordinary warmth of her voice to a program hailed as "a love-letter to women in music" exploring themes of love, nature, folklore and belief from a distinctly female perspective. Discussing the program's curation, she shares: "Emilie Mayer, whose music was never recorded, was a genius on the level with Beethoven, but she was forgotten the day after she died in 1883. Nadia Boulanger became one of the greatest pedagogues with a touch that defined American culture. Even when we forget these women, what they've done still remains."
