Up Close with Living Lands & Waters

January 20 @ 7:30 pm CST

Celebrate the natural wonders around us with an exquisite evening of chamber music at the Figge. The concert opens with the airy melodies of Haydn’s “Lark” Quartet, leading into the evocative soundscape of John Luther Adams’ Dream of the Canyon Wren, which pays homage to the beauty of nature. Debussy’s L’isle Joyeuse transports the audience to an enchanted island, followed by the innovative and unexpected textures of John Cage’s prepared piano piece And the Earth Shall Bear Again and Angel Lam’s Secrets and Ice Garden. The night culminates with Schubert’s beloved “Trout” Quintet, weaving a narrative that resonates with the serene and joyful spirit of the natural world.
