Mezzo-soprano Marie Seidler demonstrates the theatrical power of the vocal art with her strong stage character, a wonderfully dark timbre, exciting discernment and perfect volume.

Toni Ming Geiger is an extraordinary musician. His expressiveness, wealth of colours, stubbornness and technical sovereignty make him an ideal partner.
Ingeborg Danz ~ mezzo-soprano
War and peace, it is a theme that has been more topical than ever in recent years with conflicts near and far from home. But however horrific war is, the stories about it must continue to be told and, like the universal desire for peace, be heard. Will we learn from the past or will man continue to repeat himself? Marie Seidler and Toni Ming Geiger present a programme in which songs about war, peace, loss and hope for a better world are sung in works by Franz Schubert, Lori Leitman, Henriette Bosmans, Viktor Ullman, Modest Mussorgsky and others.
