“Pierrot Lunaire” by Patricia Kopatchinskaja

“Pierrot Lunaire” is a work that does not lend itself to genre classification. Technically, this is a cycle of 21 songs written for a chamber ensemble and a singer or reciter. Arnold Schoenberg wrote it based on poems from the poetry cycle of the same name by the Belgian poet Albert Giraud, where he told in 50 poems about the clown Pierrot and his obsession with the Moon.

This unique piece will be performed at the upcoming evening by Patricia Kopatchinskaja, the famous violinist, who this time will perform in an unusual role of a reciter. However, her performance has already been recognized as one of the best and was included in the list of branded works.

The program will also include other musical works.
