Free (Free ($36 suggested donation))
Franz Joseph Haydn – The Seven Last Words of Christ
On Wednesday, April 22 at 7:30pm Eastern (4:30pm Pacific), Baruch Performing Arts Center presents streaming audio and video of Alexander String Quartet’s special performance recorded this week for BPAC of Haydn’s The Seven Last Words of Christ. Aldemaro Romero Jr., Dean of the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences at Baruch College, welcomes the viewers and introduces the music and the performers.
The Quartet's interpretation of Haydn's intimate work intersperses the music with readings that are meditations on the subject of human suffering, redemption, and renewal. Performing it “together,” albeit from their respective homes while observing social distancing protocols, the quartet brings this emotionally-rich work to viewers, offering both depth and comfort in difficult times. The performance was recorded expressly for this specially-streamed presentation.
