English Songs à la française
debut album, released on october 2nd, 2020
Baritone Tyler Duncan and pianist Erika Switzer join forces in a brilliant recital of English songs, written by French composers.

He has appeared with the New York Philharmonic in Messiah under Andrew Manze, a Mendelssohn/Bach program under Masaaki Suzuki and as soloist in Poulencs Le bal masqué for chamber ensemble; made countless appearances with Les Violons du Roy/Bernard Labadie, the Toronto Symphony/Peter Oundjian, Montreal Symphony/Kent Nagano, Toronto's Tafelmusik, Ottawa's National Arts Centre Orchestra and at the Oregon Bach and Bard Music Festivals. Duncan and Switzer have been leading figures in the world of art song, and share a deep connection to songs of the Romantic period, as well as works of living composers. Mr. Duncan and Ms. Switzer were born in British Columbia, and are proud ambassadors of Canadian art song.
