• The program includes a wide selection of 'Des Knaben Wunderhorn' by Mahler under the musical direction of Anna Su?kowska-Migo?
• Schuen i l'OCV repeat this concert at the Palau de la Música in Barcelona in what will be the first performance of the main group of Les Arts in the prestigious Catalan concert hall

Valencia (10/7/2022). The Italian baritone Andrè Schuen, considered his critics as the legitimate hereu of the great 'liederistes' like Matthias Goerne or Christian Gerhaher, is in charge of opening the cycle 'Les Arts és Lied' to the Main Hall of the Palau de les Arts this Saturday, October 15 at 7:00 p.m., where he will perform in concert accompanied by a group of musicians from the Valencian Community Orchestra.

In his 38 years, the young performer signs one of the most exciting careers on the musical scene. Since the applauded series emerged as part of the exquisite cast that Nikolaus Harnoncourt will select for the series 'Trilogia Da Ponte', the South Tyrolean singer's projection has not ceased to be believed, both with his work and his first batons with René Jacobs and Christof Loy.

Exclusive artist of the prestigious Segell 'Deutsche Grammophon', the specialized press highlights the rich and beautiful vision of the baritone, “who manages both grace and intelligence and a total mastery”, which has made him an essential name in the programs of Vienna, Salzburg, London or Munich, both in the operatic facet and, above all, d'interpreter of 'lied'.

The performance of Andrè Schuen with the OCV this dissabte marks the beginning of a short tour that will extend on October 17 and 18 in Barcelona and Castelló de la Plana. This tour not only marked the debut of the sole artist in Valencia, but also that of the main orchestra of Les Arts at the prestigious Palau de la Música Catalana, playing for the first time.

Under the direction of the Polonaise Anna Su?kowska-Migo?, the most recent guanyadora of the recognized international competition of conductors of orchestra 'La Maestra', Andrè Schuen, and the OCV, will perform in the three cities a selection of 'lieder' from the work 'Des Knaben Wunderhorn' by Gustav Mahler (with arranjaments by Klaus Simon), to plus the symphonic piece 'Siegfried-Idyll' by Richard Wagner with the concert overture.

Les Arts és Lied

The Palau de les Arts maintains its aim even more with a stellar and diverse cycle of 'lied' in which it brings together the best views of the current lyrical panorama and gives space to other German musical genres such as the French 'mélodie', the Anglesa art song or other types of songs in Spanish, Italian or Russian languages.

The next ones that will be presented in the cycle of 'Les Arts és Lied' are that of the acclaimed Christian Gerhaher, on December 17, with 'lieder' by Brahms; Marina Rebeka, on February 4, who returns to Les Arts a year after her acclaimed debut in the role of Cio-Cio San in 'Madama Butterfly'; i Marianne Crebassa, May 7th.
