„In discussion with Ute Gfrerer“
ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE

Presented by: Angela Kaiser (MDR Figaro),
Stefan Lang (Deutschlandradio Kultur)
Piano: Boris Cepeda


Ute Gfrerer is amongst illustrious company: her predecessors as Artist in Residence at past Kurt Weill Festivals include Ensemble Modern, Nils Landgren and HK Gruber. Every year the holder of this annual post acts as a very special representative of the Festival programme, lending it a well-known face and not least their unique glamour. We are certainly highly fortunate to have won Ute Gfrerer for the Kurt Weill Festival 2012 and for „Hommage à Paris“, as this great artist and the Festival programme complement one another perfectly. As Artist in Residence she will appear at an unusually large number of concerts and events: Together with the ballet company of the Anhaltische Theater, Ute Gfrerer will open the Festival in „Marie Galante“, and will close it in a performance of „The Seven Deadly Sins“ featuring the MDR Symphony Orchestra. In between audiences can enjoy an ensemble concert in „Life in the limelight – Je ne regret rein“, an evening of song in „Life journeys – Voyage à Paris“, as well as this Festival Café event at which the artist will shed some light on her life and work. Festival-goers in Dessau will thus have the opportunity to meet this charismatic and charming singer at no fewer than six events. Enjoy the vocal brilliance and artistic diversity of Ute Gfrerer before she appears at the Salzburg Festival in the summer of 2012. A warm welcome to this brilliant performer!

In cooperation with MDR Figaro

The Artist-in-Residence will be presented by LOTTO Sachsen-Anhalt.
