Schubert Club Presents: Maria Jette, Sonja Thompson and Stephanie Arado

Classical Chamber Music

Soprano Maria Jette is joined by pianist Sonja Thompson and violinist Stephanie Arado in a wide-ranging program of Vaughan Williams, Massenet, Françaix and more— including the WORLD PREMIERE of a brand-new setting of Ogden Nash’s hilarious poem, Two Dogs Have I, by composer Reinaldo Moya— for all three of them!

Soprano Maria Jette’s wide-ranging career has encompassed everything from early Baroque opera to world premieres, in the United States and abroad. Her orchestral resumé includes The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and the sadly defunct Ex Machina Antique Music Theatre in her home base of Minneapolis-St. Paul. There, she’s often heard with VocalEssence (led by conductor Philip Brunelle), Chamber Music Society of Minnesota, Minnesota Sinfonia, The Schubert Club and Lyra Baroque Orchestra. She was often heard nationally over the last 20+ years of Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion.
