Poet Richard Dehmel to Arnold Schönberg:

Yesterday I heard your 'Transfigured Night', and I should consider it a sin of omission if I failed to say a word of thanks to you for your wonderful work. I had intended to follow the motives of my text in your composition; but I soon forgot to do so, I was so enthralled by the music.

Come along to support this new chamber ensemble and listen to some brilliant music for free!
