This special Encounter presents music that was written while W.R. Hearst was in
residence at Hearst Castle (1919-1947), a rich and important period in classical
music. Inspired by a beautiful dream, Stravinsky's
Octet for Winds (1923) returned to
the musical forms of bygone eras in a neoclassical style. Like Hearst Castle itself, the
work combines the visionary (tonality and instrumentation) with tradition (European
musical architecture). The lushly beautiful
Octet for Strings (1920) by Max Bruch
harkens back to the Romanticism of Brahms.
Enjoy sumptuous hors d'oeuvres, award-winning wines
from Tablas Creek Vineyard and a Pacific sunset on the
Neptune Terrace before the intimate presentation of
these engaging works of the early 20
th
century.
Event is available to Series A subscribers only.
