Arnold Schoenberg and his friends in the Association for Private Musical Performances arranged several great masterworks for an ensemble of eleven instruments. SONOS will perform three of these arrangements in music by Debussy, Mahler and Busoni. As a nod to his Finnish citizenship, SONOS Music Director Erik Eino Ochsner has made a Suite of selections from Sibelius’ incidental music to Shakespeare’s Tempest for the same size reduced ensemble.
Also on the program, music of Webern and Torke.
