As part of the Schubert Week, the Pierre Boulez Saal once again welcomed a group of young singers who are about to embark on an international career. Leading up to their recitals, these rising artists had been working on their programs with Thomas Hampson over the course of several masterclasses.
Bass-baritone Jeeyoung Lim, who trained in Seoul and at Berlin’s “Hanns Eisler” School of Music, and Israeli mezzo-soprano Hagar Sharvit, most recently heard at the Staatstheater Oldenburg, performed the second Young Singers concert. They were joined by two remarkable young pianists, Kunal Lahiry and Daniel Gerzenberg, who have both been part of previous Schubert Weeks at the Pierre Boulez Saal.
For the third consecutive year, Thomas Hampson invited renowned lied singers and the most promising talents of the younger generation, together with their piano partners, to dedicate an entire week to the world of the Schubert lied—even in these challenging times.
This concert, followed by an interactive Q&A session, was streamed live on Tuesday, January 19, at 8 pm and will remain available for free on-demand viewing through April 30, 2021.
In cooperation with the Lied Akademie of Internationales Liedzentrum Heidelberg and the Hampsong Foundation
