the FoRmatMusic in Context
MusicOur “Music in Context” concept focuses on performance at the highest level and the ethos of chamber music. It also allows audiences to explore the music from new perspectives. We present internationally acclaimed musicians of exceptional artistry; our refined programming pairs masterpieces of the chamber music repertoire with lesser-known treasures.
TalkOur concerts combine music with short, illustrated talks by leading cultural historians, musicologists, art historians, and musicians, who offer a glimpse into the intimate world of each musical work and illuminate its context. Aspect transforms the traditional recital into a thought-provoking blend of performance, speech, and image.
wineArrive early and enjoy complimentary wine & apples before the performance and during intermission. Doors open at 7:00pm; concerts begin at 7:30pm. An elegant yet convivial atmosphere and the cultural curiosity of our audience transform an Aspect concert into an extraordinary experience.
