In 1970, Maestro Schreier took up the other side of his career, conducting for the first time at a concert with the Dresden Staatskapelle. Since then he has emerged as a leading Bach and Mozart conductor.
His keen interest in the oratorio has earned Schreier an international reputation as a concert singer. He has set standards in the interpretation of Bach's Oratorios, Passions and Cantatas, notably the parts of the Evangelists, that remain a challenge for every tenor today. He has also won acclaim as an incomparable performer of the Lied (Art Song). His Schubert is especially regarded for its highly expressive projection and shaping of the words.
A pianist with a broad and eclectic repertoire that ranges from the Classical period to the twentieth century and from art song literature to the Romantic concerto, Canadian pianist Stéphane Lemelin has received particular praise for his interpretations of Schubert, Schumann, Fauré and Ravel. He tours regularly in the United States and Canada and has given numerous performances in Europe.
More information on the artists can be found here (Schreier) and here (Lemelin).
The audience is invited to join the artists at a reception following the performance.
