Shades of light and dark form the basis of our final concert for the Spring ‘27 Season. The mercurial music of Franz Schubert never allows the listener to be sure of the tone: at once it is blissfully enlightened, then despairingly melancholy. The otherworldly music of Kaija Saariaho and Eric Wubbels adds new dimension to the idea of chiaroscuro, melding together the natural timbre and resonance of the instruments into something entirely new, sometimes supernatural in sound, at other times mesmerizing and psychedelic.
