Alexandra will be the violinist with Cyrissa Anderson, soprano, and Richard Robertson, organ in a performance of three of Heinrich von Herzogenberg’s Geistliche Gesänge (Spiritual Songs), Op. 89, 1895. The texts for these exquisitely beautiful songs are spiritual poems by Eduard Mörike, Joseph von Eichendorff, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in the tradition of German Romanticism, which frequently explored connections between religious faith and the beauty and sublimity of nature.
The performance is part of a new recital series at Holy Ghost Catholic Church, 1900 California Street in downtown Denver.
