E4TT will kick off its 16th season with “Transformations,” a concert about various kinds of transformation—physical, biological, emotional, environmental, and musical. The highlight of the program will be Arnold Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht (“Transfigured Night”), Op. 4 (1899), arranged for piano trio by Eduard Steuermann, in a musical dialogue with three contemporary chamber works: “The Dragon and the Girl” (2014) for cello by Lisa Bielawa (b. 1968), “Fluid” (2016) for violin and tape by emerging composer Darian Donovan Thomas, and “a bridge between starshine and clay” (2018) for piano by inti figgis-vizueta (b. 1993, lower left), plus songs by Austrian composer Franz Schreker (1878-1934). Performed by E4TT (soprano Nanette McGuinness, cellist Abigail Monroe and pianist Margaret Halbig), with guest violinist Jennifer Redondas.
