Description

After the travail and sadness of the past year, it seems that it’s the right time to experience pure beauty once again. Over four sessions, we’ll share a series of musical gifts: an extraordinary string quintet by Mozart; words of comfort plus a symphony by Brahms; some unique songs and arias; piano music by Debussy; a stirring ‘poem’ for violin and orchestra by Chausson; a magical opera scene by Offenbach; and more. Everything will be presented within a historical and formal context, with feedback and questions from the class.
