Episode 3
In the third episode of Opus 3, “Transfigured Night,” the Skyros Quartet dives into the ever-mutable subject of transitions. Sarah and Willie begin with a conversation about the complex emotional transformation depicted in Schoenberg’s famous “Transfigured Night” for string sextet. Next, Justin talks about some of the practical techniques Skyros uses to really iron out those transitions. This episode includes the second installment of our roundtable interview with the Lafayette String Quartet. The New “Skyros Chats” segment features a conversation with Sarah and Justin.
