Closing Concert

7pm (free): Pre-concert talk given by Natasha Loges

Songs by Franz Schubert

Stephan Loges and Susanna Andersson have both given memorable recitals at past Lieder Festivals. It will be a wonderful close to this year’s OLF to bring them together for a recital of songs by Franz Schubert, featuring settings of mythological poems by Mayrhofer, Goethe and Schiller, as well as his settings of the remarkable Schlegel brothers, whose poetry inspired some of his finest songs. This recital also appropriately looks forward to Oxford Lieder’s 2014 Festival, “The Schubert Project”.
