This chamber music concert focuses on upheavals and new beginnings in music: everything new develops from something that has gone before. But where and how exactly does it begin? Are there specific markers along the way? We embark on a search for clues in the works of Carlo Gesualdo, Ludwig van Beethoven, Richard Wagner and John Cage.

From solo violin to songs to percussion ensembles, you will experience surprising concerts that are charmingly and knowledgeably moderated by our curating colleagues.
