UPCOMING

Die schöne Müllerin

Florian Boesch (baritone)

Musicbanda Franui

Nikolaus Habjan (direction & puppets)

"Wandering is the miller's delight ..." Schubert's song cycle "Die schöne Müllerin" begins light-heartedly. And yet the story of the journeyman miller ultimately turns out to be a multi-layered one-person drama: she simply doesn't love him, the miller's daughter ...

The new project of Musicbanda Franui is once again an event: the ensemble from the Austrian mountains not only makes music at an incredibly high level, it also regularly teams up with artists from other genres. In its latest production, it is bass-baritone Florian Boesch and puppeteer Nikolaus Habjan. Together they present "Die schöne Müllerin", which, together with Boesch's captivating singing and Habjan's marvellous puppetry, surpasses itself.

Lied-Meisterkurs 2025

Anne Le Bozec (Dozentin)

Pauline Viardot (1821–1910), Elsa Barraine (1910–1999), Rita Strohl (1865–1941), Clara Faisst (1872 – 1948), Luisa-Adolpha Le Beau (1850–1927), Margarete Schweikert (1887–1957) – these six women have -among others - two things in common: They are with great female composers who left an extensive work in the genre of art song (and not only that) – and who hardly ever appear in concert programmes, neither in their own lifetime nor today and are paid far too little - or no attention at all - in the music world. This course aims to change both!
The 46th Stuttgarter Meisterklasse für Lied is therefore dedicated exclusively to these six song composers, their lives, their work and their influence. We are very pleased to have two very special women as lecturers, who have been working for many years for equal
perception and acceptance of female composers in the music world: award-winning song pianist Anne Le Bozec and musicologist Prof. Dr. Natasha Loges.

2025 marks the 150th anniversary of the death of the Swabian poet Eduard Mörike, who is more closely associated with the musical oeuvre of our namesake Hugo Wolf than almost any other poet. And even though Mörike is always worth a performance, we are taking this anniversary as an opportunity to dedicate an entire Galeriekonzert.

Hagar Sharvit (mezzo-soprano)

Nikolaus Büchel (Directing)

Songs by Kreisler, Weill, Mahler etc.

A song recital on the cabaret stage? Is that possible? Yes, it is possible! In their (tragi)comic song programme, three classical artists take us back to Vienna at the turn of the century to meet quirky critics, cranky characters and sometimes more, sometimes less happy lovers. The whole thing is peppered with a wink and an unerring sense of wit and humour.
