    Pianist and wacky art song enthusiast Mandee Madrid-Sikich talks all things Lieder related (and not related!). Composers, poets, cultural contexts, piano settings, German romanticism - if it has to do with art song, you better believe it's included in this podcast! Each episode covers a different art song and is complete with special guest appearances and performances of the chosen songs. Composers discussed include Mendelssohn, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Wolf, Strauss and others. You can find Mandee on Instagram @liedernerd and on You Tube as Mandee Madrid-Sikich .
