Arnold Schoenberg: A Portrait

February 24, 2003

Harbourfront Centre Theatre, Toronto, ON

An eclectic program of a 20th century Master featuring an arrangement of Ode to Napoleon, the Cabaret Songs, Transfigured Night and selections from Schoenberg’s critical writings. This was a reprise of our 2001 Schoenberg portrait that included Schoenberg’s arrangement of Emperor Waltz by Johann Strauss instead of Ode to Napoleon.
