Franz Schubert in the pub, Gustav Mahler in the forest or Francis Poulenc in a one-to-one concert? For the »LIED ME!« project, the International Song Center Heidelberg has invested in the future together with eleven young international singers and pianists and tested new narrative styles for song in the digital space.

The result is a series of unique short films in which the participants have found their own personal form of expression and dealt with very different experiences and topics, ranging from longings and fears, sexuality and diversity to globalization and uprooting. „LIED ME!« is a project by the International Song Center Heidelberg, founded by the Heidelberger Frühling music festival, in collaboration with Boomtown Media. The digital short film project was funded by the Klaus Tschira Foundation and the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts. Three of these young musicians from the „LIED ME!“ project will be presenting their skills live at the film festival in Bad Saarow: Theresa Pilsl (soprano), Ema Nikolovska (mezzo-soprano) and Daniel Gerzenberg (piano).

The following short films will be shown (German and English with subtitles): „ABSCHIED VON DER ERDE“ (Ema Nikolovska), „2 POLES“ (Jeeyoung Lim/Justine Eckhaut) and „EXPERIMENT“ (Fanny Soyer).
