The festival concludes with a celebration of Vienna’s most accomplished composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Arnold Schoenberg and Erich Korngold were among the great wave of artists who fled Europe’s wars to settle in the United States. The traditions of the Viennese masters continue to be passed down to young American composers such as Alistair Coleman, an alum of LCCMF’s Young Composer Seminar.

Concert IV: Viennese Legacy

Saint Michael's College

While our Festival Artists are among the world’s great chamber ensemble musicians, they can also dazzle as soloists!  All ages are invited to the hour-long performance, where adults and children can learn about the possibilities and range of each of these instruments in the hands of these virtuosos!

Second Saturday

Conductor and pianist Ignat Solzhenitsyn will take us on a tour of recapitulations across Beethoven’s sonata forms—in his piano works, symphonies, and chamber music—investigating both the staggering variety and the common threads that unite Beethoven’s approaches to recapitulation. Solzhenitsyn will show how the Master’s unparalleled dramatic intuition identified this crucial tipping point in sonata structure, simultaneously elevating it to an architectural apotheosis unseen before or since.

Festival Wednesday

The 2023 LCCMF Young Artists are among the finest string players of their generation. They will explore solo and duo works with the guidance of festival artists throughout the week.

From the mid-18th century through the beginning of the 20th, Vienna was home to many of the greatest composers, including Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, and Schoenberg. These legendary creative geniuses led the evolution and revolutions of classical composition. Come to learn about traditions passed through the generations and the groundbreaking elements that led to the sophistication of the music of today.

Festival Monday

We open our 19th season celebrating International Day of the Girl, featuring violin superstar Isabelle Durrenberger and a program honoring three of the most trailblazing female composers in music history. Join us as we highlight the sparkling brilliance of Fanny Mendelssohn, the lyrical fire of Florence Price, and Jennifer Higdon’s choral masterpiece, The Singing Rooms. Audiences will be welcomed by the Columbus School for Girls Gold Key Ambassadors, and will experience a fearless, unforgettable start to our new season.
