What's it about?

recreate Liederabend with Megan Kahts and Florian Krumpöck: Robert Schumann: Frauenliebe und Leben op. 42, Clara Schumann: 6 Lieder op. 13, Johannes Brahms: 9 selected Lieder. With the South African mezzo-soprano Megan Kahts, one of the most celebrated rising stars in the international opera sky enters the stage at Greith-Haus for the first time. Already at the tender age of 11, she toured her home country as a child soprano with countless concerts and TV appearances and was able to sign her first record deal. The recent steep concert and opera career of the Vienna-based artist, with a specialisation in Lied singing, also attracted the attention of the great opera director and former director of the Salzburg Festival, Sven Eric Bechtolf. "Wie bist du meine Königin" (How you are my queen) is not only the title of one of Johannes Brahms' most moving songs, but can also be read as a motto for the entire evening, which illuminates the tension of love in its most diverse facets. Florian Krumpöck, who recently presented his latest solo album in Carnegie Hall in New York, as well as in Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Zurich, Paris, and Madrid, and is one of the leading pianists of his generation, accompanies on the piano. As Germany's youngest General Music Director, he currently conducts the Orchestra Friuli Venezia Giulia and is the artistic director of Kultur.Sommer.Semmering.
