About
Following his exemplary debut in Weill Recital Hall, Karim Sulayman performs an exquisite program of French songs in Zankel Hall that conjures memories of storied salons in Paris. Joined by Tom Poster, he performs works by core classical composers and popular performers of the 19th and 20th centuries, including Barbara, Berlioz, Brel, Chausson, Fauré, Hahn, Poulenc, Ravel, and Saint-Saëns; plus a piece by French Baroque composer Moulinié; and more. Experience the thoughtful programming and “lucid, velvety tenor and pop-star charisma” (BBC Music Magazine) that have made Sulayman an international audience favorite and winner of a Best Classical Solo Vocal Album Grammy Award.
