A Song With Gesine Nowakowski

With the series »A Song With…« we present a digital music format created between April 2021 and November 2022. In collaboration with our principal conductor Gijs Leenaars, individual singers of the Rundfunkchor Berlin bring great Lieder to life—in the warm, intimate setting of the Orania.Berlin hotel. A musical experience that invites you to pause, listen, and marvel.

In the second episode, principal conductor Gijs Leenaars joins our soprano Gesine Nowakowski for an intimate musical encounter. Together, they present »Am Klavier« (»At the Piano«) from Viktor Ullmann’s »Fünf Liebeslieder der Ricarda Huch« (»Five Love Songs by Ricarda Huch«).
