The focus this morning is on the Expressionist artist Käthe Kollwitz, whose depictions of everyday hardship and loss – including of her own children – were a powerful response to the horrors of the early 20th century. Later in the day, we work with student composers, showcase a prize-winning tenor, and welcome the great Swedish soprano Miah Persson.
