Please join Class Notes and Gramercy Arts High School on December 12th at 7:00 pm for a beautiful evening of chamber music and poetry featuring works by Brahms, Ravel, Schoenberg and Webern and original poetry by Gramercy Arts Students.

This concert is the culmination of a residency at Gramercy Arts High School, where ClassNotes artists will have spent the preceding week leading students in an exploration of the relationship between music and poetry.

Three topics will be covered: the poetry of Langston Hughes as it relates to the blues, the music of Anton Webern and its commonality with the Haiku, and an examination of how composers set poems to music.

Students will create their own original poetry; selections of their work will be presented, along with chamber music pieces performed by ClassNotes' artists at the final concert on December 12th.

We are very proud of our partnership with Gramercy Arts High School and look forward to what will surely be a moving evening. Please come -- general admission tickets are only $10!
