Meerfahrt ***** A novel approach to vocal studies, NEC's Song Lab focuses on the repertoire, interpretation, and performance of art songs. Through intertwined courses and guest lectures that enhance the creative process, students immerse themselves in the languages and histories of art song, develop their individual approaches, and learn to lead their own productions of song recitals on both traditional concert platforms and the digital stage. Intellectually curious singers and collaborative pianists who seek a well-rounded approach and a chance to dive deep will find fertile ground for building exceptional musicianship, a personal artistic point of view, and a career of one’s own. Live Stream: Event Type: Concert Category: Collaborative Piano,Voice Open to the Public: Yes Update: 13/10/2026 12:48 The Liederabend—literally, "evening of song"—dates back to the 1800s, when musicians and lovers of music would gather at someone's home, and one or more singers and a pianist would perform the songs of composers of the day. In the field of classical music, these songs are referred to as "art songs," and the German art songs are called "Lieder." In Germany, the great age of song came in the 19th century. German and Austrian composers had written music for voice with keyboard before this time, but it was with the flowering of German literature in the Classical and Romantic eras that composers found high inspiration in great poetry, sparking the genre known as the "Lied." The tradition of the art song composition continues today, with composers from all corners of the world setting poetry in many languages, scored for voice and piano. The NEC Liederabend series presents songs in a variety of languages—not only German—dating from the 19th century up to the present day. Cameron Stowe: and Tanya Blaich: curated tonight's program.
