David Greco • Erin Helyard

A fresh and vibrant take on Schubert.

Classical luminaries David Greco and Chad Kelly combine their considerable talents in this ARIA-nominated interpretation of Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin (The Maid of the Mill).

Composed in 1823, this iconic work is one of the earliest extended song cycles and one of Schubert’s most important works. In Die schöne Müllerin, we meet a young man with thoughts of love. Just one glimpse of the miller’s daughter at the window and he’s smitten, but in vain, for she loves another. The song cycle is loved for its breathtaking complexity, intense originality and the rich melodies that carved Schubert’s reputation as a genius of the lieder genre.

Concert update: Due to injury, pianist Erin Helyard is sorry to advise that he is withdrawing from this performance of Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin with David Greco. Together with David Greco, Erin Helyard is delighted to welcome pianist Chad Kelly in his place.
