VIVO Music Festival: "Metamorphosis"

Vivo Music Festival-Memories event
August 28, 2025
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Timashev Recital Hall

VIVO Season 11 returns to the Timashev, presenting Metamorphosis.

Inspired by the absurd visions of Franz Kafka, VIVO Metamorphosis spins a tale of fantasy, terror and unbridled emotion. While the iberian gallantry of Boccherini's Fandango for guitar, strings and castanets sets the Kafkaesque mood, György Kurtág's aphoristic fragments bring the author's voice to life for violin and voice. The evening closes with the raw intimacy of Janaček's 2nd string quartet, a contemporaneous musical echo of Kafka's own manic intimate letters.
