The nonprofit Guarneri Hall in downtown Chicago is set to present “Pierrot Unmasked.”<\/p>\n
The concert series, which explores the poetic and theatrical context of Arnold Schoenberg\u2019s seminal melodrama, “Pierrot Lunaire” will be shown on Dec. 9 and 10 2024.<\/p>\n
“Pierrot Unmasked” presents two different performances around the tragic-comic character Pierrot from Commedia dell’Arte, one with a reading of Albert Giraud\u2019s poems on which “Pierrot Lunaire” is based, and the other featuring a lively theatrical performance.<\/p>\n
Guarneri Hall\u2019s unique pair of evenings will provide context for “Pierrot Lunaire” with in-depth perspectives on the literary and theatrical histories of the Pierrot character. Each evening will culminate in a performance of “Pierrot :unaire” by soprano Kristina Bachrach with pianist Daniel Pesca, flutist Stef\u00e1n Ragnar H\u00f6skuldsson, clarinetist Graham Steele Johnson, and Guarneri Hall\u2019s resident ensemble, NEXUS Chamber Music.<\/p>\n
The evenings will also include a post-performance Q&A session with the performers and event organizers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
