An Evening of American Song with Brian Zeger

Brian Zeger, piano • Meredith Wohlgemuth, soprano • Joseph Parrish, baritone
Renowned pianist Brian Zeger—celebrated for his collaborations with many of the world’s greatest singers and an extensive international concert and recording career—brings his exceptional artistry to Maverick. His work spans major stages, acclaimed recordings, and long associations with leading vocalists across generations.
Rooted in classical tradition, American art song takes the familiar world of voice and piano and opens it up in wonderfully unexpected ways. These songs feel intimate and immediate—short musical stories where vivid poetry meets the colors and rhythms of American life. Sometimes they sound like a whisper of jazz, sometimes like a reinvented folk tune, sometimes like a moment of pure, honest emotion. Each one is its own little universe, inviting you to lean in and listen.
Joining Zeger are two outstanding young voices: Meredith Wohlgemuth, an American soprano and recent Grand Prize Winner of the Metropolitan Opera’s Eric and Dominique Laffont Competition, and Joseph Parrish, a baritone praised for his resonant tone, personal style, and expressive depth. Together, they offer an intimate and beautifully crafted evening of song.
