OFM OFM Artbeat (Kunsteklop)

Come listen to the vocals and piano celebrating the romantic souls

Loading player...
The Romantic Soul is a program of German Lied consisting of two sets of art songs by some of the most significant Lied composers of the Romantic era. Robert Schumann’s Liederkreis Op. 39 typically depicts the sympathy and interrelatedness of nature with the human soul, whereas the subjective intimacy of Gustav Mahler’s Rückert–Lieder Op. 44 address the familiar Romantic theme of withdrawal into a secluded world of love, art and nature. This production will be on stage at the Odeion in Bloemfontein on the 30th of May. Albertus Engelbrecht (tenor) joins Yolanda in the OFM Art Beat to provide more details and to share some insight as to being accompanied by renowned pianist Albie van Schalkwyk.
