«A Heartbeat Between two Worlds» Liederabend

Description

A story of hope, memory, and the unbreakable power of love with works by Debussy, Finzi, Schubert, Mahler, and many more. What happens to love when a war tears everything apart? «A Heartbeat Between Two Worlds» is a touching song program about love that arises in the shadow of war. Two people are separated, without the certainty of ever seeing each other again. In letters and melodies, they struggle with fear, longing, and the transience of the moment. What remains when questions are no longer answered? And can love overcome time and death? An intense musical journey full of longing, hope, and the echo of unspoken words. Poems by Wislawa Szymborska, Théophile Gautier, and W. H. Auden meet music spanning two centuries: from Schubert, Mahler, Grieg, Ravel, and Chaminade to Finzi and Adolfsen.
