My own “Interregional Singing and Theatre School” for children and youth!

This autumn, a wonderful project is taking shape: I’m launching the first two locations of my own “Interregional Singing and Theatre School” for children and youth aged 6 and up! The first two locations are in the Province of Belluno, Veneto Region, Italy. In spring 2022, two additional locations will follow in the Province of Trento, Region Trentino – Süd Tirol.

When hearing the “Deutsche Liebeslieder Opus 20” by Leander Schlegel (1844-1913), certainly the Netherland’s most important composer of romantic song, the listener will understand immediately why Schlegel was so successful in the Vienna of around 1900. The “Deutsche Liebeslieder” are a monumental work in which Lieder and piano solo pieces are alternated. Schlegel chose poetry of rich dramatic potential, written by the greatest German romantic poets, and tells the story of  “Der arme Peter”: a theme that has inspired all art forms during the (late) romantic period.

The audience can expect everything that is to be wished for in the German romantic art song: rich emotions, entrancing music of high quality and a style that can be considered both “romantic” and “original”.

During the last years, Frans and I often performed selections or single Lieder from the cycle, in numerous occasione in the Netherlands and Italy ((Utrecht, Amsterdam, Milan, Piacenza a.o.). We will now perform the complete Opus 20, with a duration of about 70 minutes.

… A fabulously exciting and beautiful project!
