Angst

“From Pandora’s box, where all the ills of humanity swarmed, the Greeks drew out hope after all the others, as the most dreadful of all. I know no more stirring symbol; for, contrary to the general belief, hope equals resignation. And to live is not to resign oneself.” — Camus

After seven years, soprano Joyce Tung Lee and pianist Rasikamon Siyapong reunite in Thailand for their first full-length recital, graciously hosted by College of Music, Mahidol University. Angst delves into the complexities of the human psyche through Schubert’s 4 Refrainlieder (Seidl), Debussy’s Ariettes oubliées (Verlaine), and the world premiere of Americ Goh’s 7 Songs on Resignation (D.H. Lawrence). Join us for an evening of poetic and intimate art song.
