SMITF Lunchtime Concert – Jong Sun Woo and Felix Gygli

CMF Artist, Jong Sun Woo, and Associate Artist, Felix Gygli (baritone) perform at the SMITF Lunchtime concert on Friday 22nd May, 1pm

Join us for a recital of German Lieder, tracing the fragile thread of the human experience of love, loss, and longing. Schumann’s Tragödie and Op. 40 songs reveal intimate dramas—fleeting tenderness, dreamlike innocence, and the stark shadows of betrayal and fate. Korngold’s 6 Einfache Lieder then open a palette of cinematic warmth, where whispered letters, wandering nights, and quiet heroism unfold. Finally, Zemlinsky’s Op. 8 songs rise with striking intensity—vigils, lamentations, and the stern song of the watchtower.
