Hoff-Barthelson Continues Great Composers Lecture Series with 'The Music of Love and Passion'
Hoff-Barthelson Music School's Great Composers Lecture Series for music aficionados continues on Friday, February 15, 2019, at 7:30 pm with The Music of Love and Passion. Bring someone you love to this musical celebration of Valentine's Day! "Love is blind, and lovers cannot see," Shakespeare wrote. But musicians can certainly hear, and have not been deaf to the sirens and sounds of love - passions that have animated music almost as much as life. Acclaimed pianist and lecturer Michael Boriskin leads this steamy session exploring different kinds of love - romantic, physical, religious, spiritual - in the works of Mozart, Strauss, Mahler, Ravel, Prokofiev, Bernstein, and others. Their music, with or without words, has exerted the power of love's turbulence, chaos, drama, tenderness, and intensity. This session has a musical rating of "PG" - mostly!
The lecture takes place at the School located at 25 School Lane, Scarsdale. Admission is $25. HBMS students may attend free of charge. Space is limited; reservations are strongly encouraged.
Additional lectures in the series are: All Bach, All the Time (Friday, March 15, 2019, at 11:00 am); and The Music of Our Time: A Sonic Road Map (Friday, May 10, 2019, at 7:30 pm).
