Festival of Voices - Die schöne Müllerin

The song cycle "Die schöne Müllerin" and the Liechtenstein Festival of Voices begin cheerfully with "Das Wandern ist des Müllers Lust...". What begins so cheerfully becomes a veritable rollercoaster of emotions. Love's joy, love's sorrow, jealousy and sadness alternate in this song cycle by Franz Schubert. Based on the poems of Wilhelm Müller, Franz Schubert created his great masterpiece. Gerrit Illenberger, baritone, and Evgenia Fölsche, piano, will lead this recital together.

Heidenheim-born baritone Gerrit Illenberger has been a member of the Young Ensemble of the Semperoper in Dresden since the start of the 2023/24 season. He has won several singing competitions and is one of the great talents of the younger generation. Before devoting himself fully to music, he completed a bachelor's degree in engineering and a master's degree in aerospace engineering at the Technical University of Munich. He received his vocal training at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Munich, where he also attended Christian Gerhaher's Lied class.

Evgenia Fölsche is a German pianist of Russian descent who lives in Liechtenstein. She began playing the piano at the age of 5 and was able to gain her first experience on the concert stage after just one year. She graduated with honors from the Russian Gnessin Music Academy in Moscow. Her concert tours have taken her to the major concert halls in Germany: Gasteig, Liederhalle, Berlin Philharmonie, Gewandhaus, Laeiszhalle and many others. Her passion is song accompaniment and chamber music.
