The world is in constant transformation. However unshakeable everything around us may seem, there is always a profound ripple causing tensions and forcing change. Exhaustion then becomes a source of inspiration; it disrupts routines and awakens alternative paths. These ripened fruits, the two musical works in this programme, stem from this restlessness. The monumentality of Jupiter — Mozart’s final symphony — breaks with classical tradition and anticipates solutions that influenced Beethoven and the romantic composers. A century later, in 1899, Schoenberg would dare to carry out the transition between Romanticism and the modernist tendencies of the fin de siècle era. He drew on a poem in which love transfigures the agony of pain into optimism and transcendence. Two masterpieces we wish to experience up close.
