When Metropolitan Opera star Eric Owens isn’t performing on the stages of the world’s great opera houses, he’s teaching and advising the next generation of vocal artists at Philadelphia’s world-renowned Curtis Institute of Music – the school that launched him 25 years ago.

Owens joins for Brahms’ Neue Liebeslieder Waltzer (New Love Songs) as well songs of Brahms, Schubert, Lerner & Loewe, and gems of the operatic repertoire, including performances with Sarah Fleiss, Lucy Baker, and Joseph Tancredi, from the acclaimed Curtis Opera Theatre — proven springboard for careers on the stage of La Scala, Covent Garden, The Met and more. Hear them here first, alongside the astounding Owens — one of today’s premier bass-baritones — and pianists Miloš Repický and Ting Ting Wong.
