Opening Night Recital: Christian Gerhaher & Gerold Huber

14 October 2016, 7:30pm 24 November 2024 - 10:17pm


Tonight's concert is generously supported by Freeths Solicitors, Oxford's leading law firm that specialises in advising clients on their personal and business wealth.

Tickets are still available on the door for tonight's concert. 

 

Christian Gerhaher and Gerold Huber need little introduction as one of the world's leading song duos. Their concerts and recordings are universally hailed for their profound insight and thrilling musicianship and we are delighted to welcome them to Oxford forthe first time. Their programme tonight includes Schumann's Kerner Lieder, one of his most popular cycles from the 'annus mirabilis' of 1840, as well Antonín Dvořák's profond Biblical Songs.
