Re-invigorating the teaching, performance, and appreciation of German Lieder — LIEDER ALIVE! Re-invigorating the teaching, performance and appreciation of German Lieder The purpose of the organization is: A. To re-invigorate the teaching, performance and appreciation of German Lieder (art songs). B. To offer frequent opportunities to experience lieder and other chamber music in an intimate environment, performed by highly accomplished emerging and established professionals. C. To expand the scope and relevance of art songs by introducing lieder (art songs) to a wider, even more diverse audience of historically under-served communities. Through engaging workshops of creative writing and music, identified communities will experience the healing process of expressing feelings with the written word and setting those to music. Veterans, seniors, adults, and students will engage in an ongoing restorative experience through this creative art form.
