Songs of Travel

Songs by Robert Schumann, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Jean Sibelius and others.

What a joy! At the beginning of 2025, the young bass-baritone Alexander Grassauer was awarded the Emmerich Smola Prize, making him the "SWR Young Opera Star 2025". Congratulations - and we look forward to seeing and hearing the likeable Austrian again at the last gallery concert of the year on November 23. Alexander Grassauer has not only mastered the grand gesture on the opera stage, but also knows how to impress as a Lied interpreter, as he showed not least at the International Competition for Lied Art 2022, where he was awarded 2nd prize. In the gallery concert with pianist Marcelo Amaral, Alexander Grassauer will perform songs by Robert Schumann, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Jean Sibelius, among others.
