Dorothea Röschmann, soprano & Joseph Middleton, piano
Saturday 1 November 2025, 7.30pm
Bliss Song Series, Pembroke Auditorium, Cambridge

Don’t miss this exceptional recital by Grammy Award-winning soprano Dorothea Röschmann and world-renowned pianist Joseph Middleton, featuring an evocative programme of Schubert, Brahms, Schoenberg and Weill.

Celebrated for her “superbly expressive and richly coloured” voice (The Guardian), Röschmann is one of the most compelling recitalists of her generation. Her artistry brings rare emotional depth to repertoire ranging from the Romantic to the cabaret-influenced songs of 20th-century Berlin. She is joined by Joseph Middleton, praised by The New York Times as “the perfect accompanist” and Artistic Director of the Bliss Song Series—the East of England’s leading platform for song.

Experience two of the world’s finest recital artists in an evening of profound storytelling, wit, and beauty.
