Winterreise, D. 911 by Franz Schubert | A Priori Duo | David Mather, baritone & Bahar Soyoz, piano

Boston-based duo A PRIORI is proud to be presenting its debut concert in 2021 with Schubert’s masterful Winterreise, D. 911 in collaboration with artist and curator Anna Fubini. Come experience the frosty chill of this haunting poetry as the weather changes and the sweaters come out of closets!

A PRIORI, a Latin phrase translating to “from what comes before,” embodies the importance of learning from the past in order to cultivate a more informed present in every facet of life, especially music. Hailing from solo performance traditions, vocalist David Mather and pianist Bahar Soyoz seek to promote musical equality between piano and voice in their performances, with Lieder and art song being the primary vehicle. Informing also begins with sharing experiences and stories with others; A Priori makes collaboration a core part of its mission by co-planning concerts with aid organizations, musicians, and other artists to create the most immersive and engaging experience for audiences of any background. 

Anna Fubini is an emerging experimental fiber and mixed media artist born and raised in Brookline, Massachusetts. The core of her work is duality, exploring the dichotomy between contradictory materials, themes, and imagery through experimentation of materials and processes. Her work aims to express the internal thorough representations of the external, find the beauty in the ugly, and distort the mundane to bring out its inherent strangeness. Anna holds a Bachelor of Science from Skidmore College with a double major in studio art and gender studies and is currently enrolled in the Master of Science in Arts Administration program at Boston University. In addition to her studies and studio practice, she works as a community arts educator with the Museum of Fine Arts, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston, and the Newton New Art Center.
