Symposium Arnold Schönberg and his Wiener Kreis
Lectures, book presentation and concert
This symposium will take a closer look at Arnold Schönberg's far-reaching influence in Vienna and beyond. The focus will be on Pierrot Lunaire, the revolutionary work of 1912, which will be performed live, together with some other compositions that can be linked to the literary influence of the Second Viennese School (e.g., texts by Peter Altenberg).
Lectures by Giacomo Danese, Jurgen De Pillecyn and Kristin Van den Buys will discuss specific aspects of Schönberg's work and reception. Jurgen De Pillecyn and Giacomo Danse will outline the context of Pierrot Lunaire and the members of the Wiener Kreis, such as Adorno. Kristin Van den Buys will focus more specifically on the reception of Schönberg’s work in Brussels during the interwar period (1919-1939). She will also play early recordings of performers associated with Schönberg, such as the Kolisch Quartet and pianist Eduard Steuermann, as well as the Belgian Pro Arte Quartet.
Claudia Maurer Zenck will present her book on the correspondence between two of Schönberg's greatest interpreters, Rudolf Kolisch and Theodor W. Adorno.
