Opportunities to hear
Schreker's music are rare in Britain. Even scarcer, non-existent even, are performances of his operas. In the 1920s, they were as popular as those by 2014's poster boy Richard Strauss. How pioneering, then, that Cambridge student Adam Cigman Mark has decided to mount a concert of the second act of Schreker's
Die Gezeichneten this Saturday in the Chapel of Trinity College. This climactic passage from Schreker's 1918 opera will be performed with piano accompaniment alongside works by Zemlinsky and Ullmann. The concert marks the UK premiere of music from the opera, bar the concert version of the overture (known as
Vorspiel zu einem Drama). Tickets are a veritable bargain at only £5 (or £3 for concessions).
