The best things I saw in 2025 were vocal recitals

I’m going with four outstanding, deeply personal NYC recitals

  • 2/22 Armory – Konstantin Krimmel (US debut); Ammiel Busakevitz; Schubert, Loewe, Vaughan Williams
  • 3/11 92nd Street Y (Buttenwieser) – Karen Slack; Kevin Miller; “African Queens”
  • 11/15 Armory – Sasha Cooke; Myra Huang; “Of Thee I Sing”
  • 11/20 Merkin – NYFOS – Shelén Hughes Camacho, Joseph Parrish; Steven Blier, Amir Farid: “North and South America: A Love Story”
