"Auf den Saiten zu singen"
Lieder and Chamber Music works by Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann

"The filigree, the very dense communication, the balance between immediacy and artful elaboration: it's all still there," wrote the press last year about the world-famous Artemis Quartet. Now the exceptional formation, which has existed for over 30 years, is taking a break from playing. Fortunately, two of its members, primaria Vineta Sareika and violist Gregor Sigl, are reuniting in autumn in an extraordinary line-up. Together with outstanding musical companions, they dedicate themselves to the wonderfully multi-layered Lied and chamber music works of Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann. In addition to cellist Julia Hagen and Alexander Lonquich at the piano, the Austrian bass-baritone Florian Boesch will be joining forces.

Lied-Recital "Dimension | Innerworld"
Marlis Petersen is a popular singer in the largest opera houses. It's no coincidence that in 2020, she was hailed 'Singer of the Year' by the German magazine Opernwelt for the fourth time in her career, something no one had done before. She even excels in the song genre. With the excellent pianist Stefan Matthias Lademann, she takes you on an imaginary journey to the depths of the soul, exploring the mysterious realm of the unconscious, the night, visions and dreams. Giving us a rendition of the beautiful romantic and fin de siècle songs, she tries to give an insight into the inexplicable stirrings of the deepest inner self, from sweet thoughts to the deepest suffering.
