About this Event
Tales Without Words
An evening of storytelling and evoking your imagination
The evening opens with Medtner's Sonata Reminiscenza, a piece that feels like a memory rising to the surface before it has found words — searching, tender, incomplete. It leads into Bach's English Suite No. 2 in A minor, where storytelling takes on the shape of Baroque dance, full of life, wit and reflection.
From there, Bach's English Suite No. 3 in G minor returns to that same courtly language in a darker key, setting the stage for Chopin's Ballade No. 1 in G minor, a piece that behaves like a story in the truest sense: it has a beginning, a rising tension, and a conclusion that arrives less like a resolution than an inevitability.
Performed without intermission, as one continuous journey.
