Schubert & Fauré: Masters of Lyricism
Date June 29, 2023 8:00pm Pricing $10 – $62.50Franz Schubert, the quintessential composer of art song, wrote more than 600 songs. The exquisite mezzo-soprano Fleur Barron and Artistic Director Gloria Chien will perform selections from Schubert’s epic final song cycle Schwanengesang (Swan Song) that expresses his desire and longing for lost love. Schubert’s Fantasy from the same final chapter of his life, is simultaneously one of the most virtuosic and sublime works for violin and piano. In his impassioned Piano Quartet, Gabriel Fauré incorporated his love of song into his dreamy instrumental melodies.
