Songs in the Green: Neugart & Appel‑Schwab at the Monopteros

On Sunday, May 31, 2026, pianist Elisa Neugart and soprano Martina Appel‑Schwab will transform the Monopteros in Schacky Park Dießen into an open concert hall. Surrounded by ancient tree giants and overlooking Lake Ammersee, a live atmosphere is created that sensually combines romance, Belle Époque, and early film music – free admission, donations welcome.

Vocal Colors and Piano Poetry

The long musical partnership of the duo shapes the stage performance: fine synchronization of voice and piano, breathing phrases, nuanced orchestration at the piano. The audience experiences chamber music intimacy with great sound range – a concert experience that creates closeness and expanse at the same time.

Journey through the Salons of Europe

The program takes the audience through the streets and salons of Paris, London, and Vienna, into the bourgeois song repertoire of Berlin, with echoes from St. Petersburg. Romantic songs, chansons of the Belle Époque, and music from the 1920s/30s condense into a stylish dramaturgy.

Sound in the Open Air

The acoustics at the Monopteros are clear and direct. Light and shadow of the park architecture frame the sound; fine articulation, clear text comprehension, and a natural reverb ensure emotional immediacy. When the sun shines through the treetops, pianissimo shades and soft nuances glow.

Repertoire with History

From late romantic songs to cinematic melodies of the Weimar era, the duo spans a bridge that remains musically coherent: differentiated dynamics, clever tempo relations, careful rubato – detailed conducting from the piano, supported by a present, text-conscious singing line.
