ABOUT THE CONCERT

When Arnold Schoenberg’s melodrama Pierrot lunaire premiered, not only did he add a new work to the classical canon but also introduced to the world a new special grouping of instruments called the “Pierrot ensemble.” For this Czech Chamber Music Society performance, curator Petr Ponelka will be joined by musical friends and colleagues from some of Norway’s best orchestras to present this unique colour combination of woodwinds, strings, and piano.
