Soprano Esther Heidemann, who has sung with the Worcester Chorus on many occasions, joins Chris Shepard in a recital featuring music from throughout Europe.

The program,  Unrestricted Travel , was designed during COVID by Esther as a way to escape to her favorite places– Ireland, Germany, Portugal, among many others.

This wonderful program reminds all of us why the Boston  Globe  called Esther’s instrument a “drop dead gorgeous voice”.  The recital was filmed at Chris’ house on the Connecticut coast in March 2021.
