The purpose of this program is to re-invigorate the teaching of German Lieder—a major chapter of western classical music. Such a training program, devoted exclusively to this important artistic genre, is unique in America.


Those who are dedicated to this most intimate and luminous of art forms—professionals from the United States and around the world—are offered the opportunity to work intensively with internationally renowned musical artists. This "graduate level" program is specifically geared to highly accomplished emerging and established professional singers and pianists. These are the supremely gifted artists who we believe can assist in our purpose of keeping Lieder where it belongs—alive!
