An evening of haunting melodies and mystical dance unfolds, from Ysaÿe’s and Ravel’s intense narratives to the whimsical charm of Butler’s Roald Dahl-inspired “Dirty Beasts” and Adès’ spirited “Catch.” The program culminates with Schubert’s profound “Death and the Maiden,” weaving together an unforgettable tapestry of music that oscillates between the ethereal, the playful, and the deeply moving.

This “takeover” concert, curated by renowned composer Thomas Adès, showcases him as composer, teacher, pianist, and conductor, and includes the U.S. premiere of “Forgotten Dances” with international guitar sensation Sean Shibe.

This concert unfolds as a heartfelt tribute through the intimate language of chamber music, featuring Bach’s reflective early cantata, selections by VOCES8 spanning several centuries, and Beethoven’s “Archduke” Trio, a musical note of gratitude to his most devoted patron. This concert embodies a journey of thankfulness, from Baroque introspection to Classical exuberance, celebrating the enduring human spirit of appreciation and connection.
