Liedstadt, Hamburg

For millennia, people all over the world have expressed their deepest emotions through music and song—around the campfire, in classical concert halls, in stadiums, in churches, and within families. Wherever people sing, it’s about powerful emotions and finding one’s place in the world. This is especially true at the Liedstadt Festival: top stars from various musical genres share the stage and celebrate their love of music outside the confines of the classical concert hall. They are all obsessed with singing and deeply moved by the art—you could say they are “songstruck.”

“Songstruck”—the Liedhaber podcast—is also the title of the Liedstadt Festival’s in-house podcast, hosted by the festival’s founders, Julian Prégardien and Kian Jazdi. In their conversations, the two talk with personalities from the music world about current topics, unusual concert formats, the significance of classical art song in the modern world, and life with and for music.

As part of Liedstadt Hamburg, two live episodes will be recorded. The second episode, on October 4 at the University of Music and Drama, will feature two guest singers who are both closely connected to the HfMT: star soprano Julia Kleiter, who, as a former HfMT student, still has a special connection to Hamburg, and soprano Antonia Brinkers, who is currently studying at the HfMT herself, works with the Liedstadt team, and has launched her own festival, “Feminale,” which aims to bring the music of female composers back into the spotlight. And of course, with a panel like this, musical entertainment is guaranteed!

Featuring Julian Prégardien (tenor and Liedstadt founder), Kian Jazdi (cultural manager and Liedstadt founder), Julia Kleiter (soprano), Antonia Brinkers (soprano), and Camille Lemonnier (piano).

The first podcast episode as part of Liedstadt-Hamburg will be recorded on September 27 at the Hotel Atlantic. The guest will be singer-songwriter Bryan Benner.
