Hugo Wolf's Italian Songbook

This coming March the Goethe-Institut Thailand is pleased to present two evenings of musical poetry. Accompanied by pianist Boris Schoenleber, Katharina Padrok (mezzo-soprano) and Sebastian Myrus (baritone) will perform 37 short pieces from Hugo Wolf's cycle of songs - "Italianisches Liederbuch". This was the title given to a series of popular Italian love poems which the composer set to music at the end of the nineteenth century.

The concert times and venues are as follows:
21/03/2017 at 19:30 hrs. Goethe Saal, the Goethe-Institut Thailand.
22/03/2017 at 17:00 hrs. in the  auditorium of Building 11, Conservatory of Music, Rangsit University.
(The duration of the concert programme is approximately one hour.)
