Portrait of a Muse: Sabine Devieilhe at Aix International Festival

Sobre o Evento

Discover the influence of a woman almost forgotten by the world. Sabine Devieilhe and the Arod Quartet explore works by three composers on whom Mathilde Zemlinsky made a powerful impression.

The sister of Alexander Zemlinsky, wife to Arnold Schoenberg, and muse to Anton von Webern, Mathilde Zemlinsky inspired — and drove — many of the key figures of the Second Viennese School. Schoenberg's reaction to her infidelity — and its consequences — is immortalised in his Second String Quartet, the echoes of which resound throughout the 20th Century.
