Off Centre Salon: From melancholy to surrealism, with laughter in between

We open the season under the tutelage of the authority on all things melancholy, the master of unrequited love himself: our favourite Schubert (at his most pensive this afternoon, in his Fantasia for four hands and his Arpeggione Sonata). But there cannot be tears without laughter and Schubert was certainly the life of the (musical) party! We will be sure to join in the silliness with his enchanting vocal trios Die Advokaten and Der Hochzeitsbraten. But the revelry isn’t over yet – we’re party hopping! Bring your masks and finery as we head to Poulenc’s Bal masqué (for soprano and chamber orchestra), only to end our afternoon entranced by Ravel’s Tsigane, for vioin and harp (masquerading as a luthéal).
