FRANZISKA HEINZEN SOPRANO
FLORIAN STÖRTZ BARITONE
BENJAMIN MEAD PIANO

„He who has never eaten his bread with tears,
who has never sat weeping on his bed
during sorrowful nights,
he does not know you, you heavenly powers.”

This song recital is dedicated to the unequal couple Mignon and Harfner from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's novel "Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship" set to music by Hugo Wolf. Featuring FRANZISKA HEINZEN (soprano), FLORIAN STÖRTZ (baritone), and BENJAMIN MEAD (piano).

Goethe settings hold a significant position throughout the festival season. The poet journeyed through the Valais during his second Swiss trip 245 years ago. Furthermore, his birthday marks its 275th anniversary. Sufficient reason to spotlight this poet and universal artist!
