Emmanuel Music performs the instrumental chamber music and songs of Felix Mendelssohn alongside the intensive, reflective art songs of Hugo Wolf. Choosing to emphasize each artist’s relationship with the works of poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Ryan Turner, Artistic Director of Emmanuel Music explains, “Mendelssohn revered the elder poet Goethe, to the point of dedicating his final piano quartet to him. Taking inspiration from Mendelssohn, I have paired his Songs without Words with Wolf’s masterful "Goethe-Lieder" to explore how these two composers and one poet dialogue with each other.”


Registration begins January 19 at 9 am.

The Athenæum's five galleried floors overlook the peaceful Granary Burying Ground, and, as Gamaliel Bradford wrote in 1931, "it is safe to say that [no library] anywhere has more an atmosphere of its own, that none is more conducive to intellectual aspiration and spiritual peace." The building was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
