Artistic Partner Patricia Kopatchinskaja leads a Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra program that explores the mystery behind various incomplete musical fragments:
The last part of Bach’s magnum opus, his Art of Fugue, trails off mysteriously mid-sentence just as Bach embarks on a complex fugue that contains his musical signature…
Fragments of a German chorale (“Immortal Victims”) haunt Hartmann’s tragic Concerto funebre…
Selections from Kurtág’s Kafka Fragments are interspersed within the movements of Mozart’s most dramatic symphony…
Just forty bars of Schubert’s tantalizingly beautiful Andante fragment will end the concert.
Join in the mystery with this annual SPCO on-campus concert next Wednesday, May 2nd, 2018 8:00 – 9:30 pm in Kracum Performance Hall.
