Schubert by Candlelight

Join SongEasel on the eve of Franz Schubert's birthday for an intimate celebration of his Lieder, featuring international rising stars Lucy Gibbs and Itamar Hildesheim alongside Artistic Director Jocelyn Freeman.

Lucy Gibbs’ “bright, vibrant mezzo” has been described as “resonating like a divine decree”. A recent graduate of the International Opera Academy in Ghent, she is also an alumna of SongEasel’s Young Artist Programme. She shares the stage with fast-rising young tenor and recent graduate of the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, Itamar Hildesheim, bringing charisma and expressive nuance to some of Schubert’s best-loved songs. SongEasel’s Artistic Director, acclaimed pianist Jocelyn Freeman completes the ensemble, shaping the evening with her profound affinity with the Schubertian tradition. 

Audiences will be transported through a thoughtfully assembled programme of favourites such as An die Musik, Die Forelle, Erlkönig, and the serene Ave Maria, alongside less well-known settings of Goethe, Müller, Mayrhofer and Rellstab.
