SHAI WOSNER, THE PARKER QUARTET Sunday, February 1, 3:00 PM Pianist Mr. Wosner and the Parker Quartet worked with Hungarian composer György Kurtág and understand his musical attributes and influences. Their unique presentation of alternating movements from Kurtag’s and Schubert’s Moments musicaux will reveal astonishing relationships within both men’s artistic spirit. According to Mr. Wosner, “Schubert’s sense of time has a certain duality to it— almost a kind of a Schubert Effect—that makes it seem as if time is somehow magically both moving and suspended. This expansiveness is in the very nature of Schubert’s music, regardless of duration. It can be felt from bar to bar and in the moment, as the music unfolds with a spontaneity that doesn’t tell us if a piece will last five minutes or fifty.” The effect Schubert and his music has had on musicians and music-lovers resounds through the centuries. Six artists who thrive on the collaborative process share his effect on them with some of Schubert’s best-loved works, including the magnificent “Trout” Quintet. Shai Wosner, piano SCHUBERT: Quartettsatz in C minor, D. 703 Tickets $25 (age 35 & under), $35, $52, $57 WINTERREISE: ANATOMY OF AN OBSESSION Sunday, February 1, 7:30 PM Acclaimed pianist Jeremy Denk interviews British tenor Ian Bostridge, whose performances of Winterreise “haunt the imagination long after the notes have died away” (New York Magazine) and whose new book, Schubert’s Winterreise: Anatomy of an Obsession, offers a personal examination of the song cycle’s literary, historical and psychological themes. With Ian Bostridge being universally recognized as one of the greatest lieder interpreters of our era, and Jeremy Denk as one of America’s most thought-provoking, multifaceted and compelling artists, this 92Y talk provides true insight into Schubert’s song cycle from both a pianist and vocalist’s perspective.

MARC-ANDRE HAMELIN Saturday, February 21, 8:00 PM
Franz Liszt may be the most iconic pianist-composer of all, and Hamelin is a Liszt specialist, playing his often fiendishly difficult music with astonishing ease. Hamelin also thrives on reviving the unjustly obscure, so he opens with music of the Irish Romantic John Field. And Hamelin himself continues the composer-pianist tradition, presenting his Chaconne (inspired naturally by Bach’s Chaconne) to New York for the first time.
