through the looking glass: Schumann, Satie, Janacek, Beethoven

Upside down and inside out… Satie parodies a Baroque suite while Beethoven shares a friendly duo with a comic wink. Janáček presents a dramatic interpretation of Tolstoy’s novella, and Schumann, with his ever-fertile imagination, reveals a world of passion and poetry. Join us as we climb through the mirror into fantastical realms of shifting perspective and whimsical storytelling.
