Performed by “Toronto’s best young chamber musicians” (Bachtrack), this unique program titled Always Darkest … Dawn Always charts a course across a single night, framing the emotional apotheosis within Arnold Schoenberg’s Transfigured Night, and its depiction of the tension between and reconciliation of two lovers. This program juxtaposes three settings of Josquin de Prez’s Renaissance song Mille Regretz (1000 Regrets) with contemporary chamber works, beginning at precisely sunset in Toronto and reimagining each work as a time and corresponding emotional state over the course of the night, concluding with dawn and the lovers’ renewal.
