Taiwanese, Paris-based artist Lee Mingwei’s performance-installation Sonic Blossom has classically trained opera singers periodically select a museum visitor and approach them with a simple question: May I give you the gift of song? Should the visitor accept, the singer will lead the participant to a chair and serenade them with one of Franz Schubert’s lieder. Mingwei compares the sporadic performances to “the folding and unfolding of a ‘Sonic Blossom’.”


The singers below perform Schubert songs in the exhibition - in a very special and magical way. Jane Ede, Celeste Lazarenko, Ayse Goknur Shanal, Helene Dahlberg and James Payne and Andrew Moran.
