In Search of Marcel Proust II

Proust’s genius lies in his ability to capture the sensory experience and imaginary dimension of musical experience. This program will shed light onto some of these inspired influences through Saint-Saens, Franck, Debussy, Faure and Beethoven with the Arabella String Quartet, flutist Julie Scolnik and harpist Krysten Keches. Immerse yourselves in Proust’s world, experience music’s power to transport you into the varous access points of memory, a model for the unique narrative in his oeuvre.
