About the Lecture
Just in time for Valentine’s Day (OK – well maybe 4 days later), this edition of ACMP Film Club will focus on Hilan Warshaw’s film Secret Song in which he collaborated closely with soprano Renée Fleming and the Emerson Quartet in telling the explosive secret story behind Alban Berg’s string quartet masterpiece, the Lyric Suite, which Berg intended as an explicit musical portrayal of his secret love affair with Hanna Fuchs-Robettin, a married woman living in Prague.
Join ACMP on Sunday, February 18 at 2pm Eastern as Executive Director Stephanie Griffin moderates a discussion with film-maker Hilan Warshaw and former Emerson Quartet violinist Eugene Drucker about the genesis of this project, the making of the film and the sultry story behind the Lyric Suite itself!
