“One of chamber music’s most sparkling and eloquent ensembles” (TIME Magazine), the Dorian Wind Quintet joins forces with “luminous” mezzo-soprano Abigail Fischer (New York Times) for Lee Hoiby’s zesty, hilarious operatic portrait of Julia Child baking a chocolate cake, Bon Appétit! The Dorians also bring their “extraordinary accuracy and spirit” (New York Times) to classic American music, including Samuel Barber’s beloved Summer Music. "Ms. Fischer sings with a passionate restraint that has no equal in her generation." (New York Times)
