The Bridgepoint Ensemble

  • Rye Creative Centre New Road England, TN31 United Kingdom (map)

The Bridgepoint Ensemble, a collection of some of the finest instrumentalists in the country, returns to Rye with an evening of gorgeous music for string sextet. The opening work is an early composition by Arnold Schoenberg, his Verklärte Nacht, or Transfigured Night. This luscious score is a setting of a poem that tells the story of two young lovers, walking through a bare, cold wood in the moonlight. The poem describes how the woman shares a terrible secret with her companion.

The second half of the concert features one of the great masterpieces of chamber music repertoire by Tchaikovsky- his Souvenir de Florence, or memories of a happy time for the Russian master, penned as it was after returning from a trip to Florence.
