In 1899, at the age of 25, Schoenberg composed The Transfigured Night , a string sextet inspired by a poem about a couple's nighttime walk on the moor. The woman confesses to the man that she is expecting a child that is not his, but he forgives her and promises to raise the child as his own. Schoenberg gave his consent to the piano trio version that his student Eduard Steuermann would create in 1932. Presented by Guy Lemaire, president of the Friends of the Orchestra, this concert also benefits from the projection of illustrations by Audrey Gallez, interviews with the composer, and surtitles allowing the audience to follow Richard Dehmel's poem.
