Concert in the Wild #3 "Fantastic Creatures and Shadows of the Night"
On October 31, 2020 we had one more concert in the garden before the next Lockdown began and the cold weather settled over Berlin.
Together, Jennifer Arnold, mezzo-soprano, Sonja Isabel Reuter, soprano and Darren Mark Saady, piano performed beautiful masterpieces to the theme of “Fantastic Creatures and Shadows of the Night”.
Mahler’s Kindertoten Lieder, Songs and arias on Ghosts and fantastic creatures by Benjamin Britten or Rebecca Clarke, and the gorgeous Song to the Moon from Rusalka, were among the haunting music that was performed on Halloween in our Openair Concert venue.
The audience was warmed by the eight glowing fires lit between the chairs and by the delicious hot homemade spiced wine and warm cider. It was another fantastic evening with friend, family and community.
Concert in the Wild #2 "Of Love and Longing"
“Concert in the Wild” #2 with Jennifer Arnold,
mezzo-soprano, Sonja Isabel Reuter, soprano
and Darren Mark Saady on piano, took place on September 19th, 2020.
On the program to the theme “Of Longing and Love” were the beautiful baroque duet between Nero and Poppea, from the closing scene of Monteverdi’s masterpiece, “L’incoronatione di Poppea”, Carmen’s famous aria “Habanera”, and beautiful duets by Max Reger among other inspiring works.
Approximately 50 guests enjoyed the airy garden, while sipping wine and sparkling water as the music floated off into the trees. It was lovely to spend time with friends and neighbours and to share this experience together.
