Sean Avram Carpenter performing “Morgen by Richard Strauss” Op. 27 No. 4

Richard Strauss – “Morgen!” Op. 27 No. 4 (transcription for violin by Jenő Hubay) In a world marked by distance, conflict, and uncertainty — from Iran to Ukraine, from Taiwan to every place touched by hardship — this music becomes a quiet act of resistance. A fragile but sincere hope for another morning. A moment to hold space for those who suffer, for those we have lost, and for those still searching for light in the dark. “Morgen!” speaks of tomorrow — not as an escape, but as a possibility. Through this interpretation, the violin tries to carry what words cannot: a wish for peace, dignity, and the simple return of beauty in human life. Because without music, without art, without that capacity to still be moved… we would not be who we are. With the extraordinary Canadian Iranian Sanaz Sotoudeh on piano, bringing this timeless sound to life. And for a brief moment, we choose to believe in a gentler tomorrow.
