PERSONAL NOTE
Concert Series by Students of the Concert Curation Course at the Barenboim-Said Akademie
Pierre Boulez Saal - Foyer
All nature has a feeling: woods, fields, brooks
Are life eternal; and in silence they
Speak happiness beyond the reach of books.
—John Clare
These lines reflect the spirit of Earth, the final “Personal Note” concert of the 2024–25 season: the program is a poetic and musical meditation on the ever-evolving relationship between humanity and the natural world. Featuring two of the most iconic works in the classical repertoire, the concert weaves together music, poetry, and prose drawn from diverse cultures, languages, and time periods. In this unique encounter, familiar sounds are reframed through new poetic lenses, inviting us to reflect on what it means to listen to nature, to speak of it, and to exist within it.
