Nov 24-27 | Side-by-Side | "Metamorphosen"
This educational project brings together three masterpieces for strings that explore transformation on personal, artistic and historical levels. From the emotional journey of forgiveness and reconciliation in Schönberg’s Verklärte Nacht, through the elegant reflection on art and culture in Strauss’s Capriccio Sextet, to the profound grief and remembrance of Metamorphosen, students encounter how composers can use music to express changing emotions, ideas and historical realities. Together, the works offer a rich opportunity to explore musical storytelling, interpretation and the evolving language of the string ensemble.
