Description

upon the wind your music floats
with guest artists Elizabeth Keusch, soprano & Nicholas Tolle, cimbalom

Join us as we explore the Austro-Hungarian tradition through the eyes of the extraordinary Hungarian composer György Kurtág, looking from Bartók – his “mother tongue” – to Schubert and Schumann. His vivid, expressionistic style condenses infinite complexities into fragile, fleeting miniatures that conjure whirlwinds of emotion.

Franz Schubert 
Der Hirt auf dem Felsen for soprano, clarinet & piano, Op. 129, D. 965

Béla Bartók 
Rhapsody No. 1 for cello & piano, BB 94c, Sz.88

György Kurtág 
Scenes from a Novel for soprano, violin, double bass & cimbalom, Op. 19

György Ligeti 
Six Bagatelles for wind quintet

Robert Schumann 
Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 47
