Schubert: Symphony in b minor, “Unfinished”
Every generation contributes to society in one way or another – either in response to what came before, or in response to the present. On March’s program: centenarian Elliott Carter, who has been productive since the 1930s and premiered new works as recently as 2008, and Franz Schubert, who died at just 31 years old, but helped define a style that resonates even today, nearly two hundred years later.
On a composer: The intricate and mercurial centenarian Elliott Carter, whom Aaron Copland described as “one of America’s most distinguished creative artists in any field,” is a prince of contemporary classical music.
