Concert | “Schubert & Solitude,” an evening of music, conversation, and art

Friday, May 15, 2009, 8:00 pm

Free

Argentinian-born composer Osvaldo Golijov in conversation with Fred Child (radio host of Performance Today). The Knights and Brooklyn Rider performing Golijov's "She Was Here" as well as works by Beethoven, Schubert, Golijov, Glass and Ives; and the exhibition and large-scale projection of portraits by artist Lennie Peterson: the projections, created specially for the concert -- large portraits of the concert's featured composers -- will be projected 12 to 20 feet high onto the walls.

The Knights has performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Tonic, the Brooklyn Lyceum, Le Poisson Rouge, Celebrate Brooklyn and the Whitney Museum. Members of The Knights have performed as soloists with the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Israel Philharmonic. The Knights have recorded two albums for SONY Classical.

String quartet Brooklyn Rider collaborate with everyone from Yo-Yo Ma to Christina Courtin.

The concert takes place in a neo-gothic building which was designed as a synagogue in 1849 by Berlin architect Alexander Seltzer. Seltzer's design was inspired by the Cologne Cathedral and the German romantic movement of Heinrich Heine and Beethoven.
