In the public masterclasses, Thomas Hampson, one of the greatest Lied artists of our time, works together with the current Liedakademie scholarship holders on musicality, technique and expressiveness in art song. The audience has the unique opportunity to look over the shoulders of tomorrow's up-and-coming Lied artists and Thomas Hampson as they work on their art.
