Liedmatinee

Poetry and sound are arguably the two fundamental ingredients of the Romantic art song - a genre through which composers such as Robert Schumann, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, and Peter Cornelius made their names. Roman Hoza and Lavinia Dames - accompanied by Anastasiya Titovych on the piano - demonstrate that composers could handle two voices as a duo with just as much virtuosity and lyricism as a single voice; their concert program focuses on a niche aspect of song composition: the duet. Hope, passion, and melancholy - shared by two!
