All four of Mozart's Flute Quart­ets. The first three were com­pos­ed 1777−78 while in Mann­heim and the fourth one a dec­ade later. The Mann­heim quart­ets were com­mission­ed by a rich ama­teur play­er, they all count as ex­ampl­es of re­fin­ed chamb­er music con­ceiv­ed for skill­ed ama­teur play­ers and dom­estic con­sumpt­ion. While hardly as com­plex a show­case of Moz­art's com­po­sition­al skills as many of his string quart­ets, all four quart­ets abound­ing in gentle wit and good humour, and writt­en not as mini-con­cert­os for flute and string trio but as chamb­er music for equal partners.

Erwin Schulhoff

  Sigurjón Ólafsson Museum
Introducing the Czech composer Erwin Schulhoff
Sigurjón Ólafsson Museum
the weekend 23rd and 24th of July 2022

"Erwin Schulhoff (1894 − 1942) was a prolific and multi-faceted creative figure whose work embraced a full panoply of styles and influences. Like Kafka and Mahler, a German Jew in a Czech cultural milieu, the composer took full advantage of his “outsider looking in” status to forge a compelling musical personality. One of the earliest and most successful exponents of art music drawing on jazz, Schulhoff refracts multiple approaches of his time, from Dada to Expressionism, and from a distanced self-mockery to the stolid seriousness of Socialist Realism."     From article by Derek Katz

Coordinators: Hlíf Sigurjónsdóttir and Alexander Liebermann

Review
"... contained some of the most adventurous and abstract music of Dark Music Days.... and expressive journey that showcased Sigurjónsdóttir’s mastery of the extreme upper register.... The Sorceress, a multi-movement work written for Sigurjónsdóttir, brought the program into furious overdrive.."
