The MusicWorks Collective closes its 21st season with a cathartic program featuring three composers with special insight into the world of strings. Annika Socolofsky’s Hush (2017) explores our instruments’ vocal and textural qualities, wringing magic from the unlikely marriage of horsehair, steel, and wood. Edward Elgar’s Serenade and Arnold Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht both achieve a similar alchemy – these are two repertoire standards that speak straight to the heart.
