Matthias Geissbühler is an EPFL alumni and a baritone-bass singer. Between his microengineer degree (2006) and his doctorate in the laboratory of biomedical optics LOB (2011), he sings! This Automn, he is passing on the campus with the American pianist and harpsichordist Stephanie Gurga for a love-sounding concert.
Like few others, Franz Schubert uses a grand finesse to embellish poetry with music, and to bring additional colours to words. Here is the German onomatopoeia in all its splendour (Lautmalerei). Pure joy for singers. Robert Schumann also has a fine sense for verses and stories. His music is poetry in itself. Alternating with music, the most colourful stories come to life. Is there anything more beautiful than our own imagination, fed by the old masters’ marvellous poetry?
Wenn ich in deine Augen seh’, so schwindet all’ mein Leid und Weh.
When I look in your eyes, all my pain and sorrow dwindle.
Admission free
