Schubert & Schumann
14 October 2024, 7:00pm - 9:00pm
The great tenor Christoph Prégardien makes a welcome return to the Festival, joined by our Artistic Director Sholto Kynoch. Their programme revolves around Schumann’s Liederkreis, an extraordinary cycle setting the evocative, nature-inspired poetry of Joseph von Eichendorff. They also include Schubert’s settings of his close friend Johann Mayrhofer, as well as the composer’s ‘Harper’ songs from Goethe’s novel Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre.
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.
