Collections
All collectionsA season is the boundary a house drew; a collection is the boundary we drew — across houses and seasons, concerts that belong in one listening.
An Unaccompanied September
Six recitals in Shanghai this September are built on unaccompanied Bach. The D minor Partita — the one that ends with the Chaconne — is played three times in eleven days, by three violinists, in three different halls.
By 零九6 nightsSep 11 – Sep 273 venues
Four Seasons Open in Nine Days
Between 5 and 13 September the Shanghai Opera House, the Shanghai Philharmonic, the Shanghai Symphony and the Suzhou Symphony all open their seasons. An opening programme is usually a statement of intent; read side by side, the four say what each house wants this season to be remembered for.
By 马勒迷5 nightsSep 5 – Sep 134 venues
