'Metamorphoses: Musical Transformations' by Night Music
From the event description:
One of the most common stories told in 18th- and early 19th-century music is that of transformation — of themes developing during the course of a movement, of melodies transformed through a series of variations, of borrowings from composers repaid with musical interest, or of material taking on new meanings through recontextualization. In this program, we explore each version of this story through works spanning the late baroque and classical eras, from Corelli and Couperin through Haydn and Hummel.
When: Thursday, May 9, 7:30-9:30 p.m.
Where: Powel House, 244 S. Third St.
