Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center Presents 1899: Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht; Orion Weiss, Piano (Site)

Sunday May 3, 2020, 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm

$40 – $82

“Two people walk through the cold, bare woods.” This magical work by Schoenberg was created at two crossroads: the close of the 19th century, and the twilight of the Romantic age. Influenced by the lushness of Wagner, yet imbued with the integrity of Brahms, this beloved sextet bids a nostalgic farewell to the art and thinking of its time. This captivating program juxtaposes music of different eras, nationalities, and styles, all inspired by the enchanting mysteries of the night.
