For Mother's Day, we will perform Brahms' String Sextet in G major and Schönberg's "Verklärte Nacht" at the Villa Wenkenhof.
Brahms' two string sextets are among the greatest chamber music repertoire - so it's high time they were heard in our concerts!
The Sextet in G major is characterized by tender melancholy: autobiographically a musical farewell to Agathe, Brahms' fiancée, whom he left in order to preserve his artistic freedom.
Another literary highlight is the highly romantic "Verklärte Nacht" by the young Schönberg, written to Dehmels' expressionist poem.
