Mezzo-Soprano

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.
Mezzo-soprano Marie Seidler and bass Frederic Jost, together with Wolfram Rieger, opened this year’s festival. Both have been part of the Schubert Week’s workshop program in previous seasons.
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 Monday, January 18, at 9 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
