Da Camera Presents Schubert's WINTEREISSE
Da Camera's 30th Anniversary season, "No Place Like Home," continues with "A Stranger I Arrive, A Stranger I Depart," a performance of Franz Schubert's Wintereisse featuring pianist Sarah Rothenberg and Metropolitan Opera baritone Tyler Duncan in his Houston recital debut. Performances take place at the Menil Collection on Tuesday, October 23, 2017, and Wednesday, October 24, 2017, beginning at 7:30 p.m.
"In this remarkable musical work, Schubert reaches across that divide of aloneness to make a human connection, one that can still reach us two centuries later," says Rothenberg, Da Camera's Artistic and General Director. "Winterreise tells us, today, something about the fragility of our own world and what it may feel like to make that fearful journey from being on the inside - of a home, a village, a community - to that unknown other side."
Schubert's stunning song cycle, which tells the story of a solitary wanderer without shelter, is presented in the context of the Menil's Mona Hatoum: Terra Infirma, a retrospective that highlights the Lebanon-born Palestinian artist's recurring themes of placelessness and the fragility of home in a turbulent world. The exhibition is on view from October 13, 2017, to February 25, 2018.
Da Camera's chamber music series continues with "From Renaissance to Reich," featuring harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani, on December 12, 2017, at the Menil Collection, and "Charles Ives's America: Hymns, Songs, Sonatas" on January 23, 2018, at the Hobby Center's Zilkha Hall.
