Stirred by the sublime lyricism and expressive richness of the Romantic era, the composers on this evening’s program display passionate intensity and striking emotional honesty. We begin with Schubert’s "Quartettsatz," one of the pieces that helped pave the road to the Romantic era, followed by the première of Marc-André Hamelin’s lush "Piano Quintet," heard in its recently completed version for the first time, and we end with Dvořák’s "Piano Trio in F Minor," perhaps the composer’s most romantic outpouring and one that owes much to his mentor, Johannes Brahms.This show is part of La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest 2022, and features a prelude lecture by Alex Ross at 6:30 p.m. at The JAI.Date | Friday, August 12 at 7:30 p.m. Location | The Baker-Baum Concert Hall at The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts CenterGet tickets here!Ticket prices ranging from $48 to $98.For more information, please visit ljms.org/events/the-new-romantics or call (858) 459-3728.

Salons were the cultural and intellectual hub of Paris; open forums for the city’s most creative minds to engage in thought-provoking and often subversive conversations. These events, along with the famed Masquerade balls, were rife with stirring and seductive new ideas, art, literature, and music. The pieces on A Weekend in Paris: The Salon and The Masquerade emerged from these glamorous salons and range from the charming piano duo by Debussy and Sarasate’s devilishly virtuosic Carmen Fantasy to Ravel and Caplet’s decadent and macabre evocations of Edgar Allan Poe’s story "The Masque of the Red Death."This event is part of La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest 2022, and features a prelude lecture by Jennifer Walker at 6:30 p.m. at the The JAI.Date | Friday, August 5 at 7:30 p.m.Location | The Baker-Baum Concert Hall at The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts CenterGet tickets here!
