Professor of Lieder at the Royal Academy of Music,
and Leeds Lieder Patron, Richard Stokes: there’s no one better to give the first of this year’s evening pre- concert talks. Schumann, Mahler, Wolf and Wagner all contributed to the rich tapestry of Lieder, many of their songs standing as masterpieces in the canon. Richard will introduce these songs and illuminate the opening recital of the Festival.
