“Shubert’s Winterreise is an iconic song cycle. It has long been on my personal ‘wish list’ of great vocal works to perform. I’m humbled and excited to have the honor of sharing it with AGAR’s keen and discerning audience. Having worked with the gifted musician Melia Garber on other AGAR projects, I couldn't be more thrilled to collaborate with her on this great work.”
​
                                             –Scott Williamson
Schubert’s first song cycle, Die Schöne Müllerin has a narrative: it tells the story of a young man’s unrequited love for his employer’s daughter. While seemingly another tale of a failed love affair, Winterreise is a psychological journey, an emotional monodrama. The winter landscape through which the poet wanders mirrors the state of his soul. 
​Schubert told his circle of artist friends that Winterreise,“cost me more effort than any  of my other songs,” while adding “I like these songs more than all the rest, and you will come to like them, too.” Schubert’s
melodic gifts play a huge role in his 
 popularity. The 5th song, “Der Lindenbaum” has achieved enduring independence on its own as a “standard” German folksong. The piano writing in Winterreise is extraordinary, even by Schubert’s ground-breaking standards which elevated the keyboard instrument’s role to that of equal partner with the voice. ​
