2024 marks the 150th birthday of Arnold Schoenberg and Charles Ives, whose Pierrot lunaire and Piano Sonata No. 2: Concord, Mass. 1840-1860, make up this celebratory program. Born in 1874, just one month apart, these two iconic composers changed the course of contemporary music history in groundbreaking and genius ways. Stephen Drury, one of the world’s leading pianists and interpreters of the music of Charles Ives, makes his enSRQ debut. Local star, Thea Lobo, brings the half spoken, half sung poetry of Pierrot lunaire to life in a program that is not to be missed.
