Sydney University Musical Society: Schumann’s Dichterliebe: Songs of Love and Longing
30 May @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm AEST

Sydney University Musical Society (SUMS) is proud to present our upcoming concert, Dichterliebe: Songs of Love and Longing.
Join us on Saturday 30 May at 6:30pm at the beautiful Hunter Baillie Memorial Church for an evening of music that takes you on an emotional journey through love and longing.
At the heart of the programme is Dichterliebe by Robert Schumann – a song cycle that moves from the tenderness of first love to the quiet devastation of heartbreak. Presented in a special choral arrangement by Hye-Young Cho, this performance offers a rare opportunity to experience this beloved work in a new and powerful form.
The programme also features Red from Spectrum by Sally Whitwell, bringing a contemporary voice to the concert and adding vibrant contrast to the evening’s themes of love and emotion.
