Le Salon de Musiques will host their first performance of the new year on Sunday afternoon at the La Jolla Woman's Club. Founded in Los Angeles in 2010 by François Chouchan and transplanted to La Jolla in 2021, Le Salon de Musiques is a "stage-free" concert series. The intimacy of the space sets musicians and audiences on the same level, and pre- and post-show discussions and receptions allow guests, musicologists and performers to get to know the works. They'll perform Franz Schubert's "Winterreise," an expansive song cycle for baritone voice and piano that spends much of its time in minor keys, with stories of wintry loneliness, heartbreak, despair and dreams. Program: F. Schubert: "Winterreise" for baritone and piano, Op. 89. Performers: Matthew Worth, baritone François Chouchan, piano —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS Related links: Le Salon de Musiques information
