E4TT's 16th anniversary season opens with a musical conversation about transformation of various kinds--physical, biological, emotional, environmental, and musical. The highlight of the program will be Arnold Schoenberg's Verklarte Nacht ("Transfigured Night"), Op. 4 (1899), arranged for piano trio by Eduard Steuermann and inspired by the eponymous poem in which a couple's love is transformed by compassion. "Transfigured Night" will be placed in a musical dialogue with three contemporary chamber works:
*"The Dragon and the Girl" (2014) for cello by Guggenheim Fellow Lisa Bielawa (b. 1968);
*"Fluid" (2016) for violin and tape by exciting emerging composer Darian Donovan Thomas; and "a bridge between starshine and clay" (2018) for piano by ASCAP Foundation Fred Ho Award winner inti figgis-vizueta (b. 1993).
Plus songs by Austrian composer Franz Schreker (1878-1934, lower right) from his Acht Lieder Op. 8 (1898-1900).
Performers: Guest violinist Jennifer Redondas will join E4TT soprano Nanette McGuinness, cellist Abigail Monroe and pianist Margaret Halbig. The concert will also be livestreamed on Old First Concerts' YouTube channel.
$25 (in person)/ $20 (suggested donation for livestream).
