Welcome to ART SUNG

Everyone loves a gripping drama and a picture is worth a thousand words. And who doesn’t respond to a good song?

Art Sung, devised by pianist Elizabeth Mucha, is an imaginative and unique collaboration between Music, Art and Narrative in a series of dramatized song recitals. Her vision is to bring the richly diverse world of Lieder to as many people as possible.

WHAT MAKES ART SUNG DIFFERENT?

The songs are set in their historical, musical and cultural context and are combined with story-telling, drama and creatively projected artwork. We aim to create a powerful platform so that the drama of the music and the emotions of the poetry can reach out and touch us.

WE ARE GRATEFUL TO OUR FUNDERS BOTH PAST AND PRESENT

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT ART SUNG

  • "fascinating...a clever little show about the life and (many) loves of Alma Mahler ... a dramatised recital using singers, actors and projections to evoke the heady atmosphere of Vienna in the late 1900s"

    Michael White / Daily Telegraph, Opera Now, Classical Music, Ham & High

  • "Made the 'high brow' very accessible without dumbing it down, I loved it"

    Audience Member

  • "Even among serious music lovers Lieder seems to be something of a minority taste. Setting it in it's musical and cultural context might win more listeners"

    Audience Member

  • "An engaging multi-media event"

    Robert Hugill / Planethugill.com

  • " It was a privilege to see such outstanding musicianship and performances from the Art Sung ensemble. Lucy Stevens was a perfect Edith - capturing the many often contradictory aspects of her character and personality. I think Edith would have approved. The graphic designs in the digital 'back drop' was fascinating and inspired. This, along with the clever choreographed “Parade feature”, provided the added art/movement dimension to the narrative."
