Coffee, Sound and Wise Words: A Morning with Axel Bauni and Amanda Becker
On July 9, 2026, a rare literary-musical conversation will take place in the White Hall of the Regentenbau: Renowned song pianist and UdK professor Axel Bauni meets Berlin soprano and jazz vocalist Amanda Becker. In an intimate reading atmosphere, both discuss song art, language and voice – a literary experience between poetry, composition and interpretation.
Between Word and Sound: The Art of Song
When we speak of song, we refer to narrative, style and linguistic artistry. Bauni has been shaping the contemporary song scene for years, curating world premieres and leading an interpretation class for modern song. Becker effortlessly bridges the gap from Schubert to jazz standards: clear diction, rich phrasing, an ear for contemporary poetry. This conversation opens the score behind the notes – poetic sources, compositional decisions, the literary quality of texts.
Experience that is Heard: Voice, Space, Resonance
The reading atmosphere in the Rococo room sharpens the senses: chandelier light, acoustic warmth, concentrated silence. When Becker speaks about vocal colors and text interpretation, intimacy emerges; when Bauni discusses Reimann, Rihm and the workshop of song, the perspective widens. Language becomes sound, sound becomes interpretation – and the audience becomes part of an author encounter with the song tradition.
Cultural Context: Song History Today
The contemporary song preservation thrives on people who develop projects, oversee editions, and engage in discourse. Bauni's work on editions and festivals, Becker's projects between art song and jazz, demonstrate the vitality of a genre that makes poetry audible anew. Here, work analysis, genre history, and contemporary practice are coherently linked.
