Romance as a Stage for Inner Movements

Schumann's song cycle unfolds a narrative about love, devotion, pain, and hope. This condensation of feeling and form defines the literary quality of the program: The soprano's voice interacts with the piano not as an accompaniment but as a second narrative voice. Thus, an author encounter with Schumann's romantic language emerges, which still belongs to the core of the song repertoire.

A Place with Intimacy, Resonance, and History

The Capella Hospitalis, as the former chapel of the Bielefeld Clinic, is a venue with a historical aura. The chapel was opened in 1899 and preserved as a monument; today it serves as a lively place for encounters, readings, music, and dance. For the audience, this means short distances, concentrated acoustics, and an atmosphere that carries every word and note. According to the organizer, access is possible without restrictions.
