Every great piece has a spark; what inspires it?
This concert traces the hidden threads between sound and inspiration, from medieval poetry to pandemic resilience, beams of light in the dark, and a Russian novel’s fiery drama. Loren Loiacono’s Besides reimagines the lone surviving song of a 12th-century female troubadour, while Isaac Schankler’s Unveiling (written for Friction Quartet) captures the collective tension and tenderness of lockdown. Juhi Bansal’s Cathedrals of Light transforms shimmering imagery into sound, and Janáček’s quartet no. 1“Kreutzer Sonata” channels Tolstoy’s tragic tale—itself inspired by Beethoven’s violin sonata.
