What is Follow the Lieder?

Pianist and wacky 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 song, you better believe it's included in this podcast! Each episode covers a different song and is complete with special guest appearances and performances of the chosen songs.
You can find Mandee on Instagram @liedernerd and on You Tube as Mandee Madrid-Sikich.
