Summer 99 was my second time to participate
in the Franz Schubert Institut as an accompanist.
This special institute is the only answer for my
passion for the German Lied --- starting with the greatest masters that
teach there, the beautiful authentic landscape and above all, Dr. Larsen's
deep insight and love for this art.
While working on my master degree in the University of
Hartford, I am also employed there as a vocal coach. After attending the
FSI, I feel much more confident bringing this art to the USA --- where
it is rather neglected.
No other course that I have ever attended was run with
such intelligence, sensitivity and intensity. It was a big contribution
to my professional and personal life.
