Masterclass Wednesday afternoon

For beginning song duos, staying in development after their studies are over is crucial. The master class provides just that. This publicly accessible interpretation course treats singer and pianist as equals and an inseparable unit. Such an approach is unique, given the often one-sided focus on the singer. Both musicians thereby enhance their artistic expressiveness as a duo. The teachers shed light on both the vocal and piano parts and show that a pianist can indeed stimulate a singer by giving impulses or, on the contrary, by applying opposite colours. The knowledge and experience they contribute give the masterclass a special character from the outset. The masterclass will conclude on Saturday 25 May with a presentation recital. 

The festival theme also runs like a thread through the masterclass. The masterclass consists of two sessions per half-day session, most of which are public. During the private session, participants work on their stage presentation.
