Schubertiad

A Schubertiad is a gathering or event where musicians, often singers and pianists, perform and share Franz Schubert’s music, especially his songs called lieder. Originating in the early 19th century, these social gatherings focus on exploring Schubert’s compositions in an intimate setting, highlighting his lyrical melodies and emotional depth. They serve as a communal way to appreciate and discuss his work, fostering connections among music enthusiasts, performers, and scholars. In modern times, a Schubertiad can be a concert, workshop, or themed event dedicated to celebrating Schubert’s life and musical legacy.
