Opera in Williamsburg will present an Art Song Concert featuring baritone Suchan Kim performing Franz Schubert’s “Winterreise” at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7, at the Williamsburg Regional Public Library, 515 Scotland Street, Williamsburg. Kim will perform the complete song cycle in German, with projected English translation, said a press release. He will be accompanied on piano by Peiwen Chen. Due to the support of the Williamsburg Community Foundation, the concert will be a pay-what-you-wish event. Registration is appreciated but not required. Published in 1828, “Winterreise” (“Winter Journey”) sets 24 poems by German poet Wilhelm Müller to music for voice and piano. It is one single dramatic monologue, unfolding as the hero wanders through a bleak winter landscape after being rejected by his beloved. The piano accompaniment evokes both the harsh beauty of winter and the hero’s despair. For more information and to register, visit operainwilliamsburg.org.
