Schubert Week: Songs by Schubert, Wolf, Zemlinsky, and others

After a two-year hiatus, Schubert Week is back at the Pierre Boulez Saal. Over the course of several days, curator Thomas Hampson will work with the next generation of lieder singers, who will introduce themselves to the audience in public workshops.

In the Young Singers concerts, young artists who have participated in the workshops in recent years will present their own song programs alongside renowned pianists.

The week concludes with a recital by Marie Seidler and Wolfram Rieger, who will place works by Schubert, Wolf, and Zemlinsky in an exciting context alongside songs by 19th- and 20th-century French female composers. Among them are names that are scarcely known today, such as Augusta Holmès and Rita Strohl, whose music is worth rediscovering.
