| Kirby Arts Center: Randall Scarlata,
baritone Schubert Winterreise Schubert's setting of Wilehlm Müller's opus of 24 poems entitled Winterreise is more than a winter journey. Although on the most literal level, the songs recount the flight of a man rejected in love from his village and his ceaseless wanderings throughout a winter landscape, Winterreise is a metaphor in which the Inner Self - never still - relentlessly seeks universal truth. The journey is motivated by internal drive; the landscapes are more mindscapes than reality. $15, students free |
