San Francisco Performances

Franz Schubert is the patron saint of Groupmuse. He’s on our logo, on our business cards, on our website. If Beethoven has his symphonies and Mozart has his operas, Schubert has his song cycles — works that will likely never be surpassed. *

And. We just got a very last minute Night Out offer for the greatest of Schubert’s song cycles. And. It’s such a transformationally powerful peace we couldn’t refuse. Thank you, San Francisco Performances.

A song cycle is classical music’s closest analog to an album — it’s a collection of thematically connected poems, usually written by someone else, that a composer sets to music to tell a story in song.

Schubert’s Winterreise looms largest in this genre. It’s a shatteringly powerful 24-song tale of loss, hope, and winter. It evokes the most staggering array of colors and feelings with just a piano and a human voice.

And, tomorrow night, that voice belongs to the young Turkish superstar Ilker Arcayürek who will take us to the brink and back.

Tickets cost $45 — but we’ve got a crazy amazing Groupmuse-exclusive discount, with a whole stack for $15 — 2/3rds off! But the show is tomorrow, so move now!

And have a great Night Out!

*It's true, Schubert too has operas and some of the greatest symphonies ever written, but in the genre of song cycle, his mastery truly knows no equal.
