This Monday, November 23rd, a very special recital will be taking place on the campus of the University of TN. World-renowned Wagnerian tenor, Gerhard Siegel and pianist Gabriel Dobner will be presenting a concert of German art song. Mr. Siegel has performed leading roles in opera houses all over the world, including the Vienna State Opera, Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and the Metropolitan Opera to name just a few. He and Mr. Dobner have recently released a new recording which features many of the songs which they will be performing on this recital.
Last week, Morning Concert host, Melony Dodson, spoke with pianist Gabriel Dobner by phone and discussed the music that they will be performing, how he and Mr. Siegel met and began collaborating, and also about the role of piano in German art song.
The program is at 8pm and will be held in the Sandra G. Powell recital hall in the Haslam music center on the UT campus. The concert is free and open to the public.
