This September, London's Kings Place presents three concerts exploring the relationship between Schubert's songs and the drawings of Austrian artist Martha Griebler (1948-2006).
All three concerts take place on Sunday, September 16, in association with arts charity Samling, featuring nine singers accompanied by pianist Joseph Middleton. During the performances illustrations by Martha Griebler will be projected on stage together with the song texts.
‘We want to take the audience on a journey exploring the themes of Schubert’s songs, his dreams and his ability to explore the frailties of mankind without being sentimental, a gift that he shared with Martha Griebler,’ said Middleton.
