The blizzard of pizzicatos are part of whimsical, mystical, generative world of sounds. Plan & Elevation is her reflection on her year at Dumbarton Oaks with its extensive formal garden. Emma Wernig joins the Ragazze for Mozart’s most played string quintet in his signature key of G minor, look out for the extraordinary Adagio introduction to the Finale, a moment when time almost stops.
