Under the artistic direction of Thomas Hampson, and with the contribution of such prominent artists – and fellow song enthusiasts – as Brigitte Fassbaender and Wolfram Rieger, the Heidelberg Lied Academy once again transforms the German city into an international meeting point for the Lied (classic song).
Ranging well beyond the confines of the traditional master class, the Academy’s aim is to give young singers a variety of tools for well-informed text-based song interpretation. The credo of the Lied Academy, reflective of Hampson’s passionate belief in the uniquely expressive power of song, is that singers should tell stories through song, and thus created richer performances through those multi-layered stories.
