Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia: André Schuen — Lied

About the Event

An evening at the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia creates an ideal meeting point between Valencia’s striking modern architecture and the intimate world of German song.

In recent years, the young Tyrolean Andrè Schuen has become one of his generation’s most compelling lieder singers. The secret—or perhaps there is one—lies in a beautiful lyric baritone, polished technique, exceptional musical sensitivity and natural stage presence: qualities that lift every performance to levels of emotion and artistry “equal to any legend of the past or present,” critics say. A specialist in German Romantic Lied, Schuen returns to Les Arts for the third time. After captivating audiences with Brahms and Mahler, he offers a programme devoted entirely to Schubert, the undisputed cornerstone of his repertoire, as confirmed by the acclaim and awards surrounding his performances and recordings of emblematic cycles including Die schöne Müllerin, Schwanengesang and Winterreise.
