Swan Songs – Works by Schubert and Strauss

The first concert of Neues Lied is bound to take the audience on a profound musical journey with two timeless masterpieces – Schubert’s Schwanengesang and Strauss’ Vier letzte Lieder. The fourteen songs published posthumously as Schubert’s Schwanengesang were written in the composer’s miraculously productive final few months and are exceptionally wide-ranging in emotional content and atmosphere.

Strauss’ sublime Vier letzte Lieder, a poignant contemplation on life and death, are likewise considered the composer’s most significant final statement.
The concert features German baritone Konstantin Ingenpaß, soprano Paulina Malefane, and pianist Esthea Kruger.

Tickets include a glass of Boschkloof wine
