Schubertiades

Schubertiades, which originated during Schubert’s life, were social gatherings in private residences that included readings, dancing, dining, and the music of Schubert. They were often hosted by the members of the “Schubert circle,” his close friends and admirers, who simply could not get enough of Schubert’s music and were eager to hear his latest magical creations.

Music@Menlo’s Schubertiades, immersions in the composer’s art, revive the concert tradition that entranced Schubert’s most loyal audiences. In the social tradition of the original Schubertiades, they include an intermission reception with the musicians.
