The vast expanse of Chicago's Orchestra Hall will be transformed into a more intimate venue for a series of Schubert song recitals, starting with baritone Matthias Goerne and pianist Christoph Eschenbach performing the song cycle Die Schöne Müllerin on January 19 at 7:00 p.m.
Goerne and Eschenbach have performed Schubert lieder together to great acclaim around the world--even recording all three of Schubert's great song cycles for the Harmonia Mundi label. In addition to their recital at Orchestra Hall, the duo will also perform at the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall and in Germany at Baden Baden and Hamburg during the 2013-14 season.
Limited seating for their Orchestra Hall concert, with some seats available on the Armour Stage itself, will bring the audience closer to the artists for an experience similar to a Schubertiade, the intimate song recitals among friends where Schubert premiered some of his most beloved works.
