Lied im Casals Forum
A new Lieder series at the Casals Forum is set to turn attention at Kronberg Academy to the fascinating art form of song; so intimate, expressive and full of subtleties. Some of the best Lieder artists – singers and their piano partners – will come to the Casals Forum for the series. The excellent acoustics here are sure to allow every nuance, every colour and every word that is sung to shine in all its beauty, tenderness or power. A celebration of poetry and the voice, and a homage to what is perhaps the most natural form of chamber music.
