Celebrity Concert by Jonas Müller (Baritone) and Anna Gebhardt (piano) £24, £20 (Music Centre members), £6 (Students)
Still in his mid-twenties and Hailed as one of the most astounding young Lieder singers of his generation, German baritone Jonas Müller has appeared at the Berlin Philharmonie, recorded with Sony Classics, and performed alongside artists such as Ian Bostridge, Simon Keenlyside and Julius Drake. Within the realm of the Western music tradition, Lieder refers to art songs for voice and piano set to a German poetic text.
In this concert Müller makes his UK début with the brilliant, emerging German pianist Anna Gebhardt, performing music by three of the greatest Lied composers and a wartime setting by Frank Martin of excerpts from Hugo von Hofmannsthal's play Jedermann.
They will be performing Robert Schumann's 5 Lieder nach Gedichten von Hans Christian Andersen und Adelbert von Chamisso, op 40, Hugo Wolf's Mörike-Lieder, Franz Schubert's Gesänge des Harfners aus „Wilhelm Meister”, op 12 and Sechs Monologe aus Jedermann by Frank Martin.
