Kurtág at 100
We open our season with a celebration of György Kurtág's 100th year and of two musical families. Donald and Vivian Weilerstein begin with poetic miniatures by Sibelius and three brief selections from Dvořák's Cypresses, followed by a kaleidoscope of selections from Kurtág's Játékok and Signs, Games and Messages, performed by Cameron Stowe, Vivian Weilerstein, and Kim Kashkashian. After intermission, Lucy Shelton and a colorful combination of winds and strings give the Boston premiere of Alex Robertson's Choral II. The evening closes with Mozart's String Quartet in D minor, K. 421, featuring Miriam Fried, Paul Biss, Nicholas Cords, and Yeesun Kim.
Admission is free with a suggested donation ($40/adult, $15/student); no tickets or RSVPs are necessary. All proceeds will support Food for Free.
