The Perennial Avant Garde

Saturday, August 30, 8:00 P.M.
Sunday, August 31, 4:00 P.M. -- SOLD OUT

Works of C.P.E. Bach, Schubert, Ravel, Debussy


Occasionally, not always, composers decide to take it further, to write a piece with absurd levels of discontinuity (CPE Bach’s Fantasy), radical conciseness and semaphoric, sketchy formal outline (Debussy’s Sonata), over the top nostalgia and apocalyptic prediction (Ravel’s La Valse), and form and scope too big for its medium (Schubert’s Grand Duo, for one piano, two players). A program of extremes: in the service of liberty – no vice.
