Music and poetry around **Josephine Lang** (1815–1880), one of the most compelling song composers of German Romanticism, in the *Le Salon* series of the **Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht 2026**. Encouraged by Felix Mendelssohn and published by Robert Schumann, Lang later lived in Tübingen, where her home became a literary and musical salon. Soprano **Elisabeth Hetherington** and fortepianist **Anders Muskens** perform her songs and piano music as equal partners, in the spirit of the nineteenth-century salon, with reciter **Simon Mulder** setting poetry by Heinrich Heine and Lord Byron alongside the music. The concert was sold out.

**Performers**  
Elisabeth Hetherington – soprano  
Anders Muskens – fortepiano  
Simon Mulder – recitation

**Venue**  
Paushuize, Balzaal, Kromme Nieuwegracht 49, 3512 HE Utrecht
