Join us for an unforgettable evening with the La Jolla Music Society's "Midweek Masterworks: Notes on a Scandal" on Wednesday, August 14, 2024, at 7 PM in the prestigious Baker-Baum Concert Hall. This unique musical event delves into the depths of passion, exploring the madness, jealousy, and ecstasy it can inspire through a carefully curated selection of compositions that narrate love's most dangerous consequences.

The evening's program features an evocative lineup, starting with Gesualdo's "Two Madrigals" arranged for string quintet, bringing to life the composer's tumultuous emotional landscape. Performers include the talented Simone Porter and Blake Pouliot on violins, Matthew Lipman and Masumi Per Rostad on violas, and Paul Wiancko on cello.

The journey into scandalous love affairs continues with Debussy's "Six Epigraphes Antiques for Piano Four-Hands," a piece that captures the composer's own sordid affairs. The piano will be masterfully handled by Inon Barnatan and Conrad Tao, promising a performance that intertwines complexity with beauty.

The final piece, Franck's "Piano Quintet in F Minor," is a powerful exploration of torrid infatuation. Conrad Tao returns to the piano, joined by Blake Pouliot and Simone Porter on violins, Masumi Per Rostad on viola, and Paul Wiancko on cello, to bring this passionate work to life.

Enhance your experience with "Midweek Cheers" – enjoy a complimentary glass of champagne at these special intermission-less concerts. After the performance, join fellow concertgoers for a celebratory toast in the Wu Tsai QRT.yrd, creating a perfect ending to an evening of exquisite music and shared experiences.

Don't miss this musical exploration of love's darkest corners with the La Jolla Music Society. Secure your tickets now for an evening that promises not only exceptional performances but also a deep dive into the emotions that drive us all.
