Micah Schroeder's DENKMAL, the first Music Alive recital, is dedicated to his grandmother Ursula Schroeder.
DENKMAL is a German word used to describe a monument, but more directly translates to “think once, or think for a moment”, and this recital perfectly embodies that sentiment. As Micah reflects on the life his grandmother led as a German immigrant, it causes all to pause and think for a moment on their own circumstances.
Canadian-American baritone Micah Schroeder, praised for his “smooth as glass lyrical contours” (The National Post), has performed across North America. Most recently, he was a member of the Vancouver Opera Yulanda M. Faris Young Artist Program and the Opera Idaho Young Artist Program.
