Dancing on the Edge of Oblivion

Distinguished soprano Julia Mintzer is returning to Notable with a new immersive concert-play “Dancing on the edge of oblivion.”

Julia will be joined by Notable’s artistic director Pavel Timofeyevsky at the piano and baritone Sam Young to bring a theatrical performance of a new programme that has its roots in the highly acclaimed “world of yesterday” concert she gave back in October last year.

Immerse yourself in the music of the salons of Vienna, Paris, Berlin and New York. Be dazzled by operatic performances in an intimate setting. Learn about the story of two lovers separated by the cataclysms of the world at war. Will they find each other again?

This will be a new and unique experience at Notable fusing theatre, storytelling and a concert performances all into one. Featuring music by Schubert, Debussy, Poulenc, Weill, Mahler and many more.

Vienna: Waltzing Into the Abyss

How did Mozart, hailed as the greatest musical genius of all time and the darling of the aristocracy, end up dying in poverty and buried in an unmarked grave?

Why did Schubert struggle to earn a living, yet his music came to define Romanticism?

How did a “forbidden dance,” once condemned as scandalous and vulgar, become the most cherished symbol of an imperial capital?

For centuries, Vienna has been the grand stage where musical traditions were perfected, shattered, and reborn—where composers were crowned as gods or cast aside as lunatics.

Join Pavel as he delves into the tale of a city that seduced, inspired, and tormented the greatest talents in music history.

Through dazzling piano performances and irreverent storytelling, discover Haydn’s wit, Mozart’s elegance, and Beethoven’s rage. Learn about Brahms’ tortured perfectionism, be intoxicated by Strauss’ waltzes, and moved by Mahler’s longing. Witness how Vienna’s ever-changing musical landscape mirrored its turbulent and fascinating history.

Five Cities, Five Stories: A Musical Journey (Part 1) – Paris

What made Paris the capital of artistic revolution?

From the baroque brilliance of Rameau in the 1750s to the jazz rhythms of Gershwin in the 1920s, join Pavel as he explores the city where composers came to dream, innovate, and rebel.

Meet the real people behind the legendary names: Rossini and his morbid sense of humor, Chopin and his strict teaching habits, Liszt and his rockstar status, Debussy and his resentment of being dubbed an Impressionist, and Ravel and his frustration at being compared to Debussy.

This piano recital and talk dive into the heart of Paris’s musical history—the drama, the laughter, and the tears that made the city a beacon for the arts.

In Spanish songs love is fiery, dramatic and often a messy business – more telenovela than fairy tale! These tunes are packed with stomping rhythms and stories that feel like confessions around a fire with singers pouring their hearts out in a raw and natural fashion.

What about Italian songs? Think smooth and poetic, like they’re crafted for the perfect movie soundtrack. Here, love is an art form, set to melodies that glide with grace and elegance, their national songs celebrating life, love, and nostalgia with a wink and a smile.

Controversy over Breakfast: Why the West Constantly Fails its Allies

Join us for the next talk in our breakfast series where Andrey Movchan, a prominent economist, delves into the delicate balance and inherent conflict between the major principles of the post 2WW geopolitics and global economic order, short-term interests of the bureaucratic elites and long-term interests of the nations. He will discuss the role of inertia and biases in the formation of the Western international policies and debate how they affect the decisions along with the short-term interests of decision makers.

He will propose his views on the future development of the global geoeconomic system and share his concerns about the role and position of the collective West in it - as well as why he believes that the farther future is much better for the West than the near one.
