Florian Störtz, one of the most exciting young baritones of his generation and Mark Rogers met during their student days at the Royal Academy of Music in London and found congenial musical partners in each other from the get-go. 

Their specialty is the close-knitted musicianship and refreshing interpretative drive that have earned them recognition in the world of song. Together, they have won the 2023 Helmut Deutsch Song Competition with an electric performance of songs by Schubert, Wolf and Mahler. 

Shortly afterwards, they won the Prix de mélodie at the 2023 Nadia et Lili Boulanger International Song Competition in Paris. Their programme today centres around Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder, one of the pinnacles of Romantic song writing. Alongside this, we hear songs by Franz Liszt, Johanna Müller-Hermann and Richard Strauss, all composers with strong connections to Wagner.
