Soprano Magdalena Kuźma Sings Barber, Rachmaninoff, Chopin

Women posing with hand resting on chin

This concert is made possible through the generous support of Donald W. Osborne and Frank Garofolo.

Praised as a “standout” with “star quality” by Opera News, Polish-American Magdalena Kuźma is promptly establishing a name for herself in both concert and operatic repertoire. Recent accolades include being named a winner of the 2021 ACPC Marcella Sembrich Vocal Competition, the 2021 Opera Mississippi John Alexander Vocal Competition, and the CT District of the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition. This recital explores many facets of the word home. It is hard not to reminisce about the past and our concept of safety: home. Is home a place or is it a person?
