Jan Philip Schulze piano

Previously a prizewinner at the Neue Stimmen (2017) and ARD International Music (2018) Competitions, the Chinese tenor won the Song Prize at the 2019 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition and is now enjoying a flourishing career in European concert halls and opera houses. To end a programme which spans the continents, Lei performs three works by Kurt Weill, German-American composer who was best known for his works for stage, especially his collaborations with Bertolt Brecht.
