Art song as a mirror of German Romanticism

Experience an evening full of poetry and sound colors! Soprano Hongping Ruan and pianist Thomas Ruan invite you on a musical journey from Schubert and Schumann to Mahler and Strauss with "Kunstlied als Spiegel der deutschen Romantik". Franz Liszt's settings of Italian poetry round off the program.

Hongping Ruan inspires with a fine and expressive voice, which has already been heard at opera houses in China and the Hamburg State Opera. She won the Mozart Competition Hamburg in 2023 and 2nd prize at the Elise Meyer Competition. This was followed in 2024 by the duo prize and a special prize at the Gustav Mahler Competition Hamburg, which she won together with Thomas Ruan. Thomas Ruan, winner of the Gustav Mahler and Elise Meyer Competition 2024, impresses with his differentiated and expressive playing.
Look forward to an evening that brings Romanticism to life in all its facets - from idyllic nature and longing to visionary sound art.
