From the composer’s time to our own, a “Schubertiade” is shorthand for a magical night of friendship and music-making, all revolving around the sparkling creations of Franz Schubert. A contemporary called him “a heaven-inspired clairvoyant who, as it were, simply shook his most glorious things out of his sleeve.” On this episode,, we’ll share with you our own “Schubertiade” – featuring some of the composer’s most glorious confections from the stages of the Heifetz International Music Institute.
