Exploring the Symphony of Emotions at Schwetzingen Palace

Julian Prégardien

Anna Gebhardt

SWR Symphonieorchester

You wish - we play! In the past, this was often seen on television and radio, but today what you wish for is played live. The only condition: it has to be one of the 600 or so songs by Schubert, because on this evening, tenor Julian Prégardien, together with Anna Gebhardt on the piano, will delve deep into Schubert's unique cosmos of poem settings. On every ticket purchased for this concert there is an email address to which you can send your desired song - preferably with a short explanation of why you want it to be this particular song. Was it perhaps a support for the first kiss, was it sung in the family, was it a catalyst for joy, an instrument of hope, nourishment for the soul in times of suffering? Prégardien, who will not only sing but also host this evening, will make a selection from the most frequently mentioned songs and add his own favorites to these.
