Curtis 20/21 Ensemble: Pierrot Lunaire

Arnold Schoenberg broke the world open in 1912 with his song cycle Pierrot Lunaire, introducing his notion of serial music and setting the stage for a century of breaking rules of harmony and structure. It's a transfixing piece that ought to be heard performed live—something accomplished for free when students from the Curtis Institute take to the Miller Theatre stage for this early concert.
