What an immense pleasure to guide those young singers through the gorgeous, insolent, melancholic and mischievous songs of Francis Poulenc. In the difficult time that our society is going through, it brings immense joy in our hearts to witness those young singers willing to travel, learn, hope and sing. I wish them all to have wonderful careers! And I won’t forget to give my gratitude to Christianne Stotijn and URIM for this great opportunity to be part of this special Udo Reinemann family. Thank you for the perfect organisation! I have very nice memories of these 2 days and I hope to teach again in the future. Sophie Karthäuser, soprano
