CONCERT I
Sublime Schubert
The 5th edition of ClassicalValley kicks off with a celebratory concert featuring Schubert’s “Cello” Quintet in the intimate setting of Tantalus Vineyards.
Schubert’s great “Cello” Quintet – so named because of the addition of a second cello to the standard string quartet – is an extraordinary piece of music. It captures the sublime in a way only Schubert could, with his music’s singing melodies, bubbling textures, and “heavenly length” (the quintet is almost an hour long!).
Tantalus has remained one of ClassicalValley’s favourite venues. We love their delicious wines and the views of the Valley at sunset. Here’s hoping for good weather this year!
After Schubert, grab another glass of wine and stay with us for a celebratory reception with the artists, as our cellists switch out Schubert for the chill vibes of Bossa Nova.
Wine Pairing: A complimentary glass of Tantalus Signature series wine is included with every ticket.
