Gerhaher and Huber

16 October 2024, 7:30pm - 9:30pm

Presented in association with the Cultural Programme

Christian Gerhaher and Gerold Huber have been inspiring audiences for nearly 30 years and are widely regarded as one of today’s foremost song duos, their recitals drawing rapturous audiences around the world. ‘There is some intimacy of partnership here between the two ... the sense is of a deliverer of the poems who sings them in his own surroundings, performing to an interceptive audience or to an inner self’ (The Classic Review). Tonight, they perform a programme devoted entirely to the songs of Johannes Brahms, whose gift for melody and keen literary empathy kept song at the forefront of his creativity throughout his long and celebrated career.

At the start of this evening's concert, and almost all evenings in the first week of the Festival, one of our eight exceptional Young Artist Programme duos will give a 15-minute showcase performance.
