“The moment is supreme,” said Franz Schubert (1797-1828) – an Aquarian Genius who composed over 600 works in his tragically brief life of just 31 years, including many lieder, seven complete symphonies, sacred music, operas, incidental music and a large body of piano and chamber music. During Schubert’s lifetime, the popular so-called Schubertiads were informal literary-musical salons held at private homes which were devoted to Schubert’s music. This upcoming Winter / Spring 2022 Season, don’t miss a one-of-a-kind series of thematic salons inspired by Schubertiads in celebration of the 225th birthday of Franz Schubert and the composers who both influenced him and followed in his footsteps, including works by Bach, Handel, C.P.E. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Hummel, Weber, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin, Franck, Brahms, Dvorak, Grieg, Janacek, Messiaen, and Kreisler.
