Fin de Siècle

Date & Time
Thu, Feb 27, 2025, 20:15
This Liederabend pays tribute to Clytus Gottwald, who transformed fin de siècle music, including piano songs and orchestral pieces, into choral works. While composers like Richard Strauss briefly experimented with vocal music, Gottwald combined Strauss's instrumental approach with Ligeti's vocal techniques, creating a new genre of over 100 transcriptions, starting with pieces by Ravel, Berg, and Mahler.
