"Kafka Fragments" György Kurtág Susan Narucki, soprano, Curtis Macomber, violin Date | May 2, 2022 7:00 p.m Location | Conrad Prebys Concert Hall, UC San Diego RSVP here! Registration required Free Event Watch livestream: music.ucsd.edu/live György Kurtág's "Kafka Fragments, Op.24" was completed in 1985 and is a seventy-five-minute work for voice and violin, set to fragments of text from the diaries of Franz Kafka. The work is divided into four parts. The first, third and fourth parts consist primarily of movements that are short in duration and which vary widely in their range of expression. These brief, intense movements are juxtaposed with several extended movements, which serve as a counterbalance, allowing us the opportunity to explore the composer's fantastical sound world more fully.

During the 17th century the Dutch Republic was the most prosperous nation in Europe. Art, military strength, science, and trade were at its peak. Simultaneously, a break from monarchist and Catholic cultural traditions allowed for the decline of interest in religious paintings. Furthermore, a burgeoning middle class sought out new genres of painting that helped enhance their homes and reflect their tastes and interests. Landscapes, cityscapes, portraiture, and still life grew ever more popular in this era. Many of the most beloved artists of the 1600s also came from this region. This docent-led talk on the Dutch Baroque will highlight artists such as Pieter Claesz, Frans Hals, Jacob van Ruisdael, and Johannes Vermeer. Date | Wednesday, April 20 from 11 a.m. to noon Location | Online Register here for free! This event is free and open to the public.
