ensembleNewSRQ Presents Ives and Schoenberg at 150

Arts & Culture

ensembleNEWSRQ (enSRQ), the innovative chamber music ensemble, continues its ninth season with ensembleNewSRQ with "Ives and Schoenberg at 150," a concert celebrating the 150th birthdays of two revolutionary composers, Arnold Schoenberg and Charles Ives. Born just a month apart in 1874, Schoenberg and Ives each transformed the landscape of contemporary music with unparalleled vision and innovation. This special program features Charles Ives' iconic, “Piano Sonata No. 2: Concord, Mass. 1840-1860,” brought to life by the renowned pianist and one of the world’s great interpreters of the music of Charles Ives, Stephen Drury, in his ensembleNewSRQ debut. Schoenberg's evocative “Pierrot lunaire” will be performed by the celebrated local vocalist Thea Lobo. Blending instrumental mastery with expressive vocal artistry, this performance offers an unmissable tribute to two towering figures in music history. The concert is Monday, November 25, 7:30 p.m., at First Congregational Church, 1031 S. Euclid Ave., Sarasota. A post-concert reception will follow, offering attendees the chance to meet the guest artists.
