Ainsi la Nuit: A Journey through the Night

 

 

We invite you to travel with us on a wonderfully varied journey through the many color palettes of dusk and the night: mysterious and sometimes ominous, but also atmospheric and intimate.

An unusual adventure in the possibilities of sound!


Program includes:

 

Nocturne from Borodin's 2nd Quartet, Haydn's "Sunrise" Quartet, "Ainsi la Nuit" of Henri Dutilleux, Caplet's Conte Fantastique, and a newly commissioned quintet by the Dutch composer Roel van Oosten.
 
Gwyneth Wentink and the Rubens Quartet perform together regularly as a unique chamber music team. The pearl-like sounds of the harp combined with the velvety medium of the string quartet create a magical concert experience!
