From Shadows to Light
A dramaturgical Liszt programme
From Shadows to Light traces a musical journey from density and inner tension towards clarity, resonance and resolution. Selected piano works by Franz Liszt are presented not as an isolated sequence of individual pieces, but as a continuous musical narrative.
The project combines performance and musical communication and can be presented, depending on the context, as a traditional recital or in a moderated and analytically expanded format. Its focus lies on musical transformation, formal relationships and the immediate experience of structure and expression through sound.
Realised Formats
The programme was presented in different formats in 2026: as a lecture-concert at the Bayerische Musikakademie Schloss Alteglofsheim on 17 May 2026, as well as within a concert series at Schloss Nymphenburg and Herrenchiemsee between April and October 2026.
