Poetry & Performance of the German Lied
––––

The FRANZ-SCHUBERT-INSTITUT is a private, non-profit organization chartered under the laws of Austria for the purpose of “furthering and cultivating the art of the German Lied”.

For the benefit of singers, pianists, and teachers who have a professional interest in the German Lied, the FRANZ-SCHUBERT-INSTITUT sponsors a five-week summer course of intensive study with leading interpreters of the classical Lied repertoire. The high artistic standards and unique structure of the course “Poetry and Performance of the German Lied”, together with its peerless guest faculty, explain why this master course has, since its inception in 1978, been widely regarded as the finest of its kind.
