liedtrio
Anne Katrin Rosenstock (soprano), Christine Lichtenberg (mezzo-soprano)
and Karola Theill (piano) have been appearing together since 2006 as “liedtrio”.
The three musicians have been connected for several years, not only by a
close friendship, but also by their mutual passion for the art-song. In
their highly varied concert programs, this connection finds expression
in the style of performance and, above all, in the special blending of
the voices:
“Both singers literally merge into a single entity, supported by the
exceptionally sensitive piano accompaniment” (WAZ).
