Sweet Treats

First public performance: March 5, 2011

The first public performance featured a pre-concert talk by tenor David Finley about Schubert’s Winterreise song cycle.

Apple Orange Pair presented a similar concert program in February 2011, also called “Sweet Treats,” at a house concert as a fund-raiser for the Connecticut Food Bank. Featured pieces were paired with a corollary Bavarian dessert, such as Sachertorte and Linzer cookies, donated by Dagmar’s Desserts.
