Downtown Music Presents: Ivor Klayman & Svetlana Gorokhovich

Baritone Ivor Klayman and pianist Svetlana Gorokhovich treat us to a program including little-known songs by Vaughan Williams.

Scottish baritone Ivor Klayman has sung most of the major baritone roles in the 19th and 20th Century operatic repertoire, and the title roles in Nabucco, Macbeth, William Tell, The Pilgrim’s Progress, and Prince Igor. He has appeared as a soloist in oratorio and concert works ranging from Bach to Walton and presented song recitals of Mahler, Schubert, Schumann, Vaughan Williams, and Wolf. He’s joined by pianist Svetlana Gorokhovich for a program that features Ralph Vaughan Williams’ rarely heard song cycle, House of Life, based on the poetry of Dante Gabriel Rosetti; and an engaging group of Scots folk songs.
