THOMAS HAMPSON & WOLFRAM RIEGER

Hugo Wolf died on February 22, 1903, just a few blocks from Franz Schubert's birthplace in Vienna's Alsergrund district. But it is not only biographical coincidence that connects the two probably most important song composers of the 19th century. The program of the Schubert Week 2024, curated by Thomas Hampson, illuminates parallels and contrasts in their work and places the works of Schubert and Wolf in dialogue with other composers in a larger music-historical context. As every year, renowned Lied interpreters as well as young artists can be experienced in concerts and workshops in the Pierre Boulez Hall.Details on the program as well as information on two additional concerts on Friday, January 26 and Saturday, January 27, both at 8 p.m., can be found here from September 2023.In cooperation with the Liedakademie of the Heidelberger Frühling Liedzentrum & Hampson Foundation
