Intimate stage, great impact
Haus Wahnfried offers the proximity that makes this genre so irresistible: every breath, every nuance in the attack, every color change of the soprano voice comes to the center. The historic hall in the former residence of Richard Wagner creates a live atmosphere where art song is not just presented but immediately experienced. The Richard Wagner Museum describes the location as part of a house that has been a museum since 1976 and remains closely connected to Bayreuth's musical history.

Katharina Konradi: crystal-clear voice, precise emotion
Katharina Konradi has established herself internationally as a song, concert, and opera soprano. Her website describes her as the first soprano from Kyrgyzstan with an international career in song, concert, and opera; her repertoire ranges from Mozart roles to Strauss and Schubert to major concert works. Her song competence is particularly evident in her recordings and recent projects, including Franz Liszt and Schubert. Critics praise her crystal-clear voice and her colorful singing technique.

Joseph Middleton: the pianist as sound director
According to his own website, Joseph Middleton is considered one of the leading song accompanists and chamber musicians internationally; press coverage highlights his ability to conjure atmosphere with the first notes and to shape musical lines with particular transparency. His profile shows enormous program sensitivity and close collaboration with leading singers in the field, including Katharina Konradi. In a song evening with Liszt, Mahler, Schubert, and Strauss, this promises a sound partnership of the highest level. ([josephmiddleton.com](https://www.josephmiddleton.com/about?utm_source=openai))
Romance between intimacy and upheaval
The program unites four composers who have shaped song in different ways: Liszt with lyrical tension, Mahler with emotional depth, Schubert as a master of psychological condensation, and Strauss with dazzling orchestration in small forms. This sequence of works creates a concert evening that makes the entire spectrum of German art song audible – from delicate night moods to erupting passion. The hall at Haus Wahnfried provides the ideal resonance space for this.
