Acclaimed soprano Lucy Shelton and baritone Andre Solomon-Glover perform four new song cycles—settings of Italian, Farsi, French, English, Portugese, and Greek texts—for chamber ensemble.  English conductor Stefan Asbury joins Sospeso for the first time.  A world premiere of Bernard Rands and new works by Kirk Noreen and Joshua Cody accompany the evening's centerpiece, Elliott Carter's latest songbook Tempo e Tempi.
