    Schubertiade: The Winterreise Years

    3pm

    This year’s Schubertiade program is the 10th annual celebration of Schubert’s songs, piano and chamber works, performed in homage to the original Schubertiades that took place during the composer’s lifetime: intimate evenings of friends and fellow artists, musicians, poets and admirers, with the composer himself often seated at the piano, gathering to hear Schubert’s music.

    The concert will be part of a special Schubert weekend that will also include a recital featuring Schubert’s great song cycle Winterreise performed by baritone Paul Rowe and pianist Martha Fischer on January 27 at 7:30 pm, also in Collins Recital Hall.

    In both concerts, the audience will be able to hear the beautiful 1820s-style Viennese fortepiano, newly acquired by the School of Music. The piano was built especially for the School of Music by Rodney Regier, who is internationally known for his modern copies of keyboard instruments from the 18th through the first decades of the 19th centuries. The sound of this instrument is perfect for Schubert, and provides opportunities to hear the kind of piano that Schubert himself would have heard and played.

    The two concerts are also related in another way. Following the Friday evening performance of Winterreise, the Sunday Schubertiade will feature solo piano pieces, piano duets, and lieder from the “Winterreise” years–not only 1827, when Schubert composed the cycle, but also the years before and after in 1826 and 1828–when we find both premonitions and echoes of Schubert’s great “Winter Journey.”

    National ACDA Panel

    Let Vibrate! On Liberating the Fullness of the Feminine Voice

    As choral professionals we bear the responsibility either to perpetuate a standard of beauty at the expense of our singers or to refine our approach to instructing, conducting, and composing for adult treble voices for a liberated, colorful sound. Soprano Sarah Brailey, voice professor Karen Brunssen, choral director Jennaya Robison, and composer Mari Esabel Valverde join to offer their perspectives in a panel to discuss the adult treble voice and vibrato. Referring to singers’ testimonials, score examples, and audio recordings, attendees will hear the panelists explain the musical, pedagogical, physiological, and sociological implications treble sections singing with vibrancy.

    "Our Journey" with Boston Ballet

    7:30pm

    with Lorelei Ensemble

    Justin Peck’s epic ballet Everywhere We Go floods the stage with kaleidoscopic movement. Peck’s energetic choreography shines against a nine-movement orchestral score composed by GRAMMY and Academy Award nominee Sufjan Stevens. With an impressive cast of 25 dancers, this ensemble-driven piece will have you talking long after you leave the theater.

    The program builds to a stunning crescendo with a brand-new work created by lauded choreographer Nanine Linning. Through the lens of an artist, Linning explores the power of expression to shed light on the importance of ocean preservation. Debussy’s sweeping La Mer and choral work Les Sirenes performed live by the Boston Ballet Orchestra and Boston’s virtuosic women’s vocal group Lorelei Ensemble will be punctuated by newly created musical compositions by composer Yannis Kyriakides. Vivid imagery in collaboration with haute couture designer Yuima Nakazato, visual and new media artist Heleen Blanken, and award-winning lighting designer Brandon Stirling Baker combine with Linning’s explosive choreography for an unforgettable dance experience.
