Experience an evening of exquisite musical artistry as baritone Christian Gerhaher and pianist Gerold Huber grace the stage at the Royal Irish Academy of Music. Renowned for their profound interpretations of Lieder, this celebrated duo dedicates their program to the works of Robert Schumann. The performance will feature the Eichendorff Liederkreis, 5 Songs Op. 40, and volume three of the Romanzen und Balladen from 1840, alongside the 3 Songs Op. 83 and 6 Poems of Lenau from 1850. 

Gramophone has praised their Schumann recordings as "an album to treasure and to savour," while the Financial Times lauds Gerhaher's eloquence in singing his native German poetry. With a partnership spanning 30 years, Gerhaher and Huber have become fixtures on the stages of major international recital centers, particularly as frequent guests at Wigmore Hall.
