ABOUT THIS EVENT

The title of Huxley's essay 'Music at Night' captures the somnambulistic and the fantastic: the program begins with Haydn's Trio No.31, nicknamed Jacob's Dream. Written on the cusp of the 20th century, Transfigured Night is an epic tone-poem drawing listeners into Schoenberg's psychological labyrinth. As a finale, Firebird Trio performs the passionate Piano Trio in D minor by the musical creator of midsummer nights, Felix Mendelssohn.
