Immerse yourself in our world of song, which we reinvent every year.

Inspired by an annually changing motto, LIEDBasel curates a fascinating and rich program in close collaboration with the artists, which encompasses far more than classical song recitals. Immerse yourself in our world of song, which we reinvent every year. Whether philosophical themes or natural science, whether quietly touching or surprising with a bang - we shy away from nothing.

LIEDBasel is a contemporary and interdisciplinary exploration of the art form of song. It is not just about the intimacy of song and piano. And not just about the past. Because the performers are people who live in the present. The song is about life in nuce. It reflects everyday life in different centuries and the most diverse facets. It tells and sings about individuals trying to assert themselves in society. Unlike an aria, the song is the entire narrative. It is told in just a few minutes. This is what makes the song so extraordinary and unmistakable.

As the song is a whole in a small space in a short time, not only song specialists will talk about the topics it deals with, but also experts in completely different fields.

The festival consists of six formats. These different approaches are intended to inspire not only the performers, but also the audience. The individual events offer opportunities for exchange and reflection.
