Tonight at 7:30 in Harris Concert Hall, violinist Daniel Hope joins cellist Alisa Weilerstein and Aspen Music School faculty and students for Tchaikovsky’s String Sextet, “Souvenir of Florence” and Schoenberg’s early work, Verklarte Nacht, or Transfigured Night, inspired by a poem which describes a man and woman walking through a dark forest on a moonlit night. The woman shares a secret with her new lover: she bears the child of another man. The music depicts the sadness of the woman's confession, the man reflecting upon it, and finally, the man's acceptance and forgiveness of the woman.
