Geneva Music Festival 2024 Season: Light and Dark Thursday, June 6, 7:30PM Friday, June 7, 7:30PM Night and Day https://genevamusicfestival.com/event/night-and-day-606/ https://genevamusicfestival.com/event/night-and-day-607/ Gearan Center for the Performing Arts, Hobart and William Smith Colleges (125) 299 Pulteney St, Geneva, NY 14456 315-781-3622 Clara Lyon and Geoffrey Herd, violin; Jimmy Thompson and Josh Newburger, viola; Clive Greensmith and Hannah Collins, cello; Anna Petrova, piano Haydn Sunrise Quartet Mark Olivieri, Commission Alexander Scriabin Sonata-Fantasy No. 2 Kaija Saariaho, Light and Matter Schönberg: "Verklärte Nacht" Join GMF resident artists for music that moves from morning to night. We begin with a musical evocation of daybreak; Joseph Haydn’s Quartet in B Flat Op. 76, No. 4 (“Sunrise,”) opens with a gentle melody rising out of a surrounding harmonic halo, before revealing its full brilliance. The Piano Sonata No. 2 in G-sharp minor by Alexander Scriabin moves through both moods and modes to juxtapose light and dark, while contemporary composers offer their own interpretations of such contrasts. We close, of course, as darkness falls with Arnold Schoenberg’s evocative Verklärte Nacht (“Transfigured Night”), which captures the moonlit scene depicted by Richard Dehmal’s eponymous poem.
