Described by the New York Times as "one of America's finest artists and singers," Frederica von Stade continues to be extolled as one of the music world's most beloved figures. Known to family, friends, and fans by her nickname "Flicka," the mezzo-soprano has enriched the world of classical music for three decades. Miss von Stade's career has taken her to the stages of the world's great opera houses and concert halls.

Laurie Rubin has performed all over the world, at venues including Carnegie Hall in New York, John F.

She's been lauded by the New York Times chief classical music critic Anthony Tommasini for her "compelling artistry" and "communicative power."
