Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte
18 October 2024, 5:15pm - 6:15pm
The Brahms Piano Quintet is one of the great masterpieces of the chamber music repertoire, and we are thrilled to welcome Ensemble 360, one of the country’s top ensembles, to perform it for us this evening. They are joined by the great German baritone Dietrich Henschel for a rare performance of Schoenberg’s riveting Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte, which was composed in the US in 1942 and whose text by Byron was chosen for its theme of struggle against tyranny and oppression.
Programme
- Johannes Brahms (1833 - 1897)
- Piano Quintet in F minor Op. 34
- Arnold Schoenberg (1874 - 1951)
- Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte
