| Hartmut Höll | Speaker |
For the opening of the Schubert Week, curator Thomas Hampson welcomes pianist Hartmut Höll and noted writer Dr. Friedrich Dieckmann for a conversation about Schubert and his time. A member of Berlin’s Akademie der Künste, Dieckmann has published books on Schubert, Schiller, Wagner, and Brecht as well as essays on the process of German reunification. Höll, who will also be heard in one of the Young Singers concerts, has been rector of the Karlruhe Musikhochschule since 2007.
January remains Schubert month at the Pierre Boulez Saal: for the third consecutive year, Thomas Hampson has 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.
The opening talk will be streamed live on Monday, January 18, from 8 pm and will be available on our website for free on-demand viewing for 30 days.
