Between Worlds

A journey through shadow and light as Schubert and David Lang explore the voices of Death — one through intimate song, the other through a modern echo. With Sandrine Piau, Pedja Mužijević, and the Leonkoro Quartet, UNLTD enters Schubert’s orbit ahead of his 200th birthday in 2028 for this Verbier premiere.
