SUMMARY:Schubert: Winterriese - Vocal and Piano Performance
DESCRIPTION:“I will sing you a cycle of horrifying songs…”\n—FRANZ SCHUBERT \nFranz Schubert’s Winterreise (Winter Journey) is arguably the most influential work for voice and piano of the 19th century. \nThroughout their performance of this cycle of 24 songs\, tenor Christopher Hossfeld and pianist Trevor Berens weave haunting\nmelodies into the story of a homeless stranger traversing a metaphorical winter landscape. Reeling from the horrors of a frozen heart in a frozen world\, the stranger bares his most interior and private thoughts in this deeply human psychological struggle of resilience in the face of rejection\, death\, and trauma. Schubert’s highly sensitive and prophetic music inspires profound empathy\, not only for the stranger and his plight\, but also for anyone today seeking safety\, community\, and belonging. More information can be learned at www.winterreise.net. \nThis program at Fivesparks will consist of a brief presentation about the works as well as translation of lyrics for everyone.   \nSunday\, October 26\, 2025. 4:00-5:30pm. $20.  \nPURCHASE TICKETS
