Countertenor: Anthony Roth Costanzo & Ensemble Led By Dan Schlosberg

Following his performances with Jupiter Ensemble to inaugurate the Frick’s Stephen A. Schwarzman Auditorium in April 2025, Anthony Roth Costanzo returns with a program tied to his latest project: Countertenor, a new book for Farrar, Straus and Giroux and companion recording on Nonesuch Records. Both illuminate the countertenor voice as an instrument of reinvention—part oddity, part divinity. Costanzo brings the album to the Frick stage with an ensemble led by Dan Schlosberg. Seventeenth-century Baroque laments by Monteverdi and Dowland give way to a Mozart duet, a Hawaiian song, and avant-gardist Klaus Nomi's “You Don't Own Me.” Costanzo also performs a 2024 work written for him by Osvaldo Golijov, concluding with a hypnotic aria from Philip Glass's iconic Einstein on the Beach.
