Franz Schubert, the quintessential composer of art song, produced more than 600 songs. His final cycle, Schwanengesang (Swan Song), depicts hopeless desire and longing for lost love. Schubert’s Fantasy for Violin and Piano, composed during the same final chapter of his life, is simultaneously one of the most virtuosic and sublime works for those instruments.

Running time: 1 hour and 45 minutes with one intermission.
