Art does not emerge in isolation. It lives through dialogue – between disciplines, across time, among people.

“Let Beauty Awake” brings this very dialogue to the stage: an evening where words, music, and painting meet – tender, moving, and vibrantly alive.

Actress Isabel Karajan will read texts, letters, and reflections by renowned visual artists, exploring the creative process, doubt, and the longing for beauty.

The evening will be framed musically by acclaimed countertenor Thomas Lichtenecker and pianist Florian Reider, who present a finely curated program – from Britten to Saint-Saëns, from Warlock to Vivaldi.

🎶 Program (selection):
Let Beauty Awake – R. Vaughan Williams
The Sally Gardens, The Last Rose – Benjamin Britten
The Contented Lover, The Bachelor, Jillian of Berry – Peter Warlock
Vedrò con mio diletto – Antonio Vivaldi
A Chloris, Tyndaris – Reynaldo Hahn
Aimons-nous – Camille Saint-Saëns
Après un rêve – Gabriel Fauré

In parallel with the music, a new artwork will be created live: exceptional young artist Dino Pearl will draw on stage throughout the evening – inspired by both music and words. Complementing this, Galerie Dumas will present a captivating exhibition of his works.

An evening of encounters – between disciplines, voices, and colors.
We warmly invite you to be part of it!
