Poetic Sound Colors: The Song Workshop ignites a matinee full of intimacy

Bad Kissingen breathes festival air: At the 40th anniversary of the Kissinger Summer, great song art meets curious ears in the Song Workshop. A concentrated concert experience takes place in the Rossini Hall of the Arcade Building on Sunday morning – close to text and tone, supported by exquisite voices and masterful pianists. For those who love the live atmosphere, here you will experience the audience spirit of a real song laboratory: precise orchestration at the piano, fine word-tone synchronization, radiant timbres.

Vocal Colors that Tell Stories

The young soprano Clara Barbier Serrano leads the ensemble – nimble in the high register, focused in expression. Alongside her, Amanda Becker adds colorful contrasts, Michael Pflumm contributes tenor clarity, and baritone Dietrich Henschel shapes lines with song-dramatic experience. At the piano: the luminaries Axel Bauni (director), Steffen Schleiermacher, and Jan Philip Schulze – three specialists who combine text declamation, breath control, and dynamic layering with chamber music precision.

Program in the Name of Romanticism and Modernity

The Song Workshop traces the poetry of Schubert, Schumann, and Brahms, while also looking at Jewish influences in music and cultural history – from the Mendelssohn cosmos through Gustav Mahler's orchestral song language to the expressive modernity of Arnold Schönberg. This creates a dramatic arc that organically intertwines Romanticism and Late Romanticism with the 20th century.

Acoustics, Light, Emotion

The Rossini Hall in the Arcade Building offers ideal conditions for vocal fine work: clear articulation, velvety room response, and lighting that enhances the closeness between stage and audience. Every nuance – from the piano-filamented initation to the radiant crescendo – remains audible, and the stage performance unfolds without distance.

Competence On and Behind the Stage

As part of the renowned Kissinger Summer Festival – featuring world-class orchestras, award winners, and critical acclaim – the Song Workshop stands for expertise and repertoire maintenance. Bauni's profile in contemporary song as well as Schleiermacher's and Schulze's interpretative authority ensure editorial accuracy and stylistic precision.
