SUMMARY:Café Vienna — Nervous Splendor
DESCRIPTION:The imperial “City of Song” has played an essential role as a leading European cultural center\, hosting major personalities in the development of music\, as well as literature\, painting\, psychiatry and intellectual thought\, from the 16th to 20th centuries. \nAs in the architecture\, musical styles that sprang up are a mix of Baroque\, Classical\, Art Nouveau\, Modernist and sleek contemporary. During the 19th century\, the café became a meeting place for the creative set in town. Mozart\, Schubert\, Beethoven\, Brahms\, Johan Strauss Jr.\, Mahler\, Korngold\, all of whom are represented on the program\, could be found in their favorite coffee houses\, penning compositions while greeting the likes of Gustav Klimt\, Arthur Schnitzler\, Stefan Zweig\, Rilke\, Freud\, Kafka\, Werfel\, or Wittgenstein. \nThis program takes a cross-section of Viennese musical modes—from operetta to waltz\, Beethoven’s Piano Trio which spins on a popular song by Weigl\, to Schubert’s sublime testament to his beloved métier\, “An die Musik.”  And of course\, the quintessential café music of Fritz Kreisler\, “Caprice Viennois.”  In charm\, verve\, and artistic sophistication\, Vienna’s past is unsurpassed. \nIeva Jokubaviciute\, piano; Xiao-Dong Wang\, violin; Emily Marvosh\, mezzo-soprano; Yehuda Hanani\, cello \nAfterglow Reception on the Mahaiwe stage following the concert! You are invited to meet the artists and enjoy bites and beverages by Authentic Eats by Oleg. Join us! \n\nVirtual Tickets: You will receive an email with a link to a private video one week after the performance.
