Neues Lied – a festival for art song founded by Esthea Kruger in 2018 in Germany and established in South Africa in 2022 – returns this year from 15-20 September to Cape Town. The festival consists of several events highlighting the multifaceted beauty of the art song genre: a series of concerts, several masterclasses, and a competition for young art song duos from the University of Cape Town and Stellenbosch University.

This year’s festival takes place in collaboration with Ian Burgess-Simpson Pianos.

Tickets to the concerts and final round of the competition can be purchased on Webtickets; entry to the masterclasses and first round of the competition is free.

The concerts feature Violina Anguelov-Hobbs, Lauren Dasappa, Minette du Toit- Pearce, Sipho Fubesi, James Grace, Clara Hugo, Jan Hugo, Esthea Kruger, Paulina Malefane, Siphamandla Moyake, Patrick Tikolo, and Brittany Smith.
