THE ENSEMBLE FOR THE ROMANTIC CENTURY HAS SET
OUT TO ACHIEVE THE IMPOSSIBLE:
TIME TRAVEL.

The critically acclaimed Ensemble for the Romantic Century reconjures the past with original multimedia productions that fuse chamber music, drama, and history. The subject matters span across centuries, from Tolstoy to Toscanini, from Verne to Van Gogh, all brought to life through the fusion of drama and sound. We believe that one can understand Freud more deeply by listening to the erotic cabaret music of fin de siècle Vienna, that one can appreciate Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata more profoundly by listening to him speak of his tortured love life and his debilitating deafness. By illuminating the interplay between literature, biography and music we have transformed the concert experience.
