Tarot Songs
Florence, Palazzo Corsini al Prato — Fondazione Mascarade Opera — Salone dei concerti
About the Event
Recent laureates of the Wigmore Hall, Hugo Wolf, and Lyon Chamber Music Competitions, 2024 workshop participants Joanna Kacperek and Clara Barbier Serrano return to Florence to give our Saturday night recital. In this program, songs will be paired with cards from the Tarot de Marseille and performed in random order. With the help of the audience, the order of the concert is decided in the moment, which creates a unique and collective experience. The cards may be mysterious and spiritual, but they are also, mostly, a game…and isn't it the same with music?
More Info:
In this recital, the songs are paired with cards from the Tarot de Marseille and performed in random order. We start the concert with Schumann's 'Die Kartenlegerin', during which we draw the first cards. We then ask audience members to pick the next ones: that way, the order of the concert is decided in the moment, which creates a unique and collective experience of the concert.
Songs are paired with cards on the ground of common themes, characters, particular energies. Some pairing are obvious, such as 'The Moon' and Schubert's 'An den Mond', others more mysterious such as 'Strength' Ingeborg von Bronsart’s “Die Lorelei”. The audience is left free to imagine the link between card and song.
