Matthias Goerne live in London

Experience Matthias Goerne live on June 24th

Matthias Goerne is a German baritone internationally recognized for his interpretations of Lieder, particularly those by Schubert, Schumann, and Mahler. His style is characterized by a refined vocal technique, nuanced phrasing, and a deeply introspective approach to text, often described as conveying profound emotional depth and clarity. He frequently collaborates with leading accompanists and orchestras in both concert and operatic performances, though he is most prominently known for his recital work.

The venue for this performance is Wigmore Hall, located in central London. Opened in 1901, it was originally designed as a private salon for the Bechstein piano company to showcase its instruments. It quickly became renowned for its exceptional acoustics – considered among the best in the world for chamber music and song recitals – due to its relatively small size and rectangular shape. Unlike many larger concert halls, Wigmore Hall maintains a deliberately intimate atmosphere. Throughout its history, the hall has hosted performances by an extraordinary roster of musicians; it has no formal owning orchestra or resident company but operates as an independent venue dedicated to presenting classical music at the highest level.
