Tafelmusik presents 'Shooting Stars', a musical journey celebrating the captivating lives and works of famous composers.
About this Event
Tafelmusik: Stelle cadenti / Shooting Stars
  • Julia Wedman, violin
  • Patrick G. Jordan, viola
  • Michael Unterman, violoncello

The history of the arts is liberally laced with the tales of practitioners whose lives and careers were cut unnaturally short. The idea of the shooting star, brightly burning but all-too-soon extinguished, captures the imagination.

Taking inspiration from this image, the program includes works by three composers whose brief but brilliant careers follow this trajectory: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1792), Hyacinthe Jadin (1776–1800), and Franz Schubert (1797–1828). The balance of the program is drawn from four stars of the late 18th century whose lights burned more steadily, but brightly just the same. Three are Italians who sought their fortunes in foreign lands: Luigi Boccherini, Felice Giardini, and Giovanni Battista Noferi. We round out the program with a new transcription of a work by Joseph Bologne, Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges.
