The soprano voice and the harp—a truly special and enchanting combination. Both artists are united by a love of extraordinary music. This evening will feature works by Robert Schumann, Richard Strauss, Claude Debussy, and Gabriel Fauré. The delicate sounds of the harp lend the songs a heavenly tone and a deeply intimate atmosphere. The carefully curated program invites you on a contemplative stroll where darkness plays with nature. Amid fragrant flowers and the eerie yet hopeful character of the night, the duo of voice and harp resonates in all its beauty.
