'The heart for the German lied'
Rudolf Jansen and Alice Turner during a masterclass in Amsterdam

Rudolf Jansen, one of the most beloved masters of the Franz-Schubert-Institut passed away. Sixteen times since 1983 he joined us in Baden bei Wien to share with the pianists and singers his knowlegde and his heart for the German lied. He was an amazing pianist and a generous teacher with incredible kindness and patience. Our thoughts are with his beloved family.

DEEN LARSEN: on Rudolf Jansen — Sparks & Wiry Cries It takes the words of a generous, masterful teacher to fully praise another endowed with the same qualities.

ANNOUNCEMENT of Franz Schubert Institut (since 1978)

From July 1st to August 5th 2024 an intensive 5-week summer academy will be held in Austria, specialized in Poetry and Performance of the German Lied from Beethoven to Berg.

The intimate relationship between music and poetry in the German Lied requires the artist to refine his or her sensibilities in both modes of expression.

The five-week course, conducted primarily in English, consists of a co-ordinated program of four essential disciplines:

a series of master classes unrivaled in scope (130 hours of instruction by foremost artists),
intensive coaching in German diction and recitation with Austrian actors and actresses,
individual coaching in voice and piano with our artists-in- residence,
interpretative seminars in the poetry of the Lied.

Accompanists and singers work and learn together at the FRANZ-SCHUBERT-INSTITUT. Far from being the servant of the vocalist, the professional accompanist shares equally in creating the total musical meaning of the Lied and should, therefore, for pedagogical as well as artistic reasons, master the poetry and its elocution.
