Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel

from Follow the Lieder · host Cincinnati Song Initiative

Before there was Felix, there was Fanny! Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel was a supremely talented and intelligent pianist and composer, but societal norms of the time kept her locked in a patriarchal prison. Join us as we hear three of her songs: Nach süden, Vorwurf, and Nachtwanderer. With soprano Isabelle Peters and mezzo-soprano Ema Nikolovska.Follow the Lieder is a production of Cincinnati Song Initiative.
