Master Classes and Performances in the Boulez Saal (Berlin)
For the sixth consecutive year, the Pierre Boulez Saal and Thomas Hampson present Schubert Week – a week dedicated to Schubert Lieder featuring daily concerts, workshops, and other events in Berlin.
Just a few streets away from Franz Schubert’s birthplace in the Vienna district of Alsergrund, Hugo Wolf died on February 22, 1903. But these two foremost song composers of the 19th century are connected by much more than a biographical coincidence. Curated by Thomas Hampson, the program of the Pierre Boulez Saal’s 2024 Schubert Week will spotlight parallels and contrasts in their oeuvres and examine the music of Schubert and Wolf in a larger historical context by pairing their works with those of other composers. As in seasons past, acclaimed lied performers and rising young artists will be heard in concerts and workshops.
The live-stream events are as follows:
Friday, January 26, 3 pm CET / 9am EST: Public Workshop I
Saturday, January 27, 3 pm CET / 9am EST: Public Workshop II
Sunday, January 28, 3 pm CET / 9am EST: Closing Concert
You can watch these events free of charge below.
Live-streaming for the 2024 Schubert Week is made possible by the Hampsong Foundation in cooperation with the Elke und Wolfgang Kuentzle Stiftung and the Verein der Freunde & Förderer des Hampsong-Fonds Deutschland e.V.
The Schubert Week is a cooperation between the Pierre Boulez Saal and the Lied Zentrum of the Heidelberger Frühling music festival (Lied Akademie), with support from the Hampsong Foundation.

In cooperation with
:
Pierre Boulez Saal
The goal of the Pierre Boulez Saal is to offer “Music for the thinking ear”: audiences are invited to listen actively and to experience sound with all senses, letting emotions, thoughts, and visual as well as aural impressions come together to create a complex whole. The “thinking ear” does not represent the abstract or cerebral, but rather a sort of sensuousness—not unlike “grasping” a particularly beautiful or unusual object. This extraordinary concert hall provides a space for dialogue in which music can be shared on multiple levels. Many influences—cultural, artistic, humanistic, architectural, and historical—combine to create a place where people should be able to communicate, to listen, and to understand.
