PROGRAMME

Coming soon

5. Liedkonzert

Moritz Kallenberg (tenor)

Kallenberg and Rita Kaufmann have set out on a journey through the world of Swabian poetry and present songs based on texts by Friedrich Hölderlin, Justinus Kerner, and Eduard Mörike.

 

Foyer Opernhaus, Staatstheater

Start: 19:30

Echoes

Katharina Konradi (soprano), Catriona Morison (mezzo-soprano) & Ammiel Bushakevitz (piano)

Songs and duets by Schumann, Brahms, Chausson, Viardot and others

Duets are a rarity in recital programmes, as it is usually only one singer who performs a recital. So there is double the pleasure in this special programme, which features a reunion with the wonderful soprano Katharina Konradi and Ammiel Bushakevitz at the piano. The two of them are bringing the Scottish mezzo-soprano Catriona Morison to Stuttgart as the third member of the ensemble, so that the programme of this gallery concert will include not only solo songs but also duet repertoire that is performed far too rarely.

Following the two concerts that took place under the title ‘The blind spot’ as part of the Schwetzingen Festival 2025, Julian Prégardien's exploration of the theme of ‘Goethe and women’ continues. After all, Goethe's long and passionate life provides plenty of material for further programmes that look behind the ‘blind spot’ of history and provide a glimpse of important women in Goethe's life and work.

Ernst Leopold Schmid (Mörike time capsule)

Songs by Hugo Wolf and Pauline Viardot

Thinking of Mörike settings, Hugo Wolf immediately springs to mind. After all, he left behind true masterpieces in his 53 Mörike songs. However, it is hardly known that the French composer Pauline Viardot also wrote a dozen fantastic Mörike songs. Now these Mörike songs will be performed for the first time as a cycle conceived by musicologist and Viardot expert Prof. Dr. Natasha Loges. In a Mörike time capsule, Dr. Gunilla Eschenbach from the DLA Marbach will present letters from Pauline Viardot from the Mörike Collection Berge alongside the newly expanded ‘Family Archive of the Schmid and Kauffmann Musician Families,’ which includes manuscripts by Tübingen University Music Director Emil Kauffmann, who was friends with both Eduard Mörike and Hugo Wolf.
