Die Quellen: Schubert’s Poetic Sources

Join the Voice Department faculty, students and visiting Ong Teng Cheong Professor* Roger Vignoles as we explore Schubert’s Lieder from the perspective of the poets whose works resonated so deeply with him. Over the course of three evenings, we will take an in-depth look at the lives of those whose words were the source for some of the most beautiful vocal music we have today.

*The Ong Teng Cheong Professorship is enabled by the Singapore Totalisator Board and the Lee Foundation
