What is the Lied the Future programme?

Lied the Future is a European initiative that supports emerging talents specializing in art song. Its main goal is to promote the professional integration of young singers and pianists into the international concert circuit through a process that combines training, mentorship, and stage experience.

The Lied the Future programme includes:

  • Participation in the Schubertíada Academy: Over four days, artists will receive mentorship and individual coaching from renowned mentors such as Wolfram Rieger, Olaf Bär, Christiane Karg, Matthias Goerne, and Christiane Iven.
  • Lied the Future Artists Concert: Featured in the official programme of the Schubertíada Vilabertran 2026.
  • Paid concert network: Opportunities to perform in a series of remunerated concerts across Europe.
  • Complementary activities: Additional sessions and experiences to enrich the artistic journey.
