Description

Der Liederabend (German) — or a "song night"—dates back to the 1800s, when musicians and lovers of music would gather at someone's home, and one or more singers and a pianist would perform the songs of composers of the day. In the field of classical music, these songs are referred to as "art songs," and the German art songs are called "Lieder." The tradition of the art song composition is alive and well today, with composers from all corners of the world setting poetry in many languages, scoring for voice and piano. You will have a rare chance to be introduced to this beautiful tradition by two outstanding members of the Sharon Music Academy faculty Chihiro Asano (vocal) and Zieng Xu (piano). October 15th, 6:30 pm at the Sharon Music Academy. Space is very limited. Please reserve your seat early.
