Each season, ASC presents a series of intimate Lieder Lounge performances, highlighting some of the most exciting artistic champions of art song. These recitals often focus on a theme, set of composers, or ideas the artists want to explore on an intimate recital stage.

Michael Banwarth

Our fourth Lieder Lounge welcomes two rising stars on the operatic and recital stages in America, tenor Travon D. Walker and pianist Michael Banwarth. Both recent graduates of the Ryan Opera Center at Lyric Opera of Chicago, they both have incredibly exciting seasons ahead, featuring performances at Lyric Opera of Chicago, in New York at the Metropolitan Opera, and more. A major highlight of their program is the world premiere of a song cycle that they have composed together.
