Join us for an enchanting day of music at the Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. This special day of the festival is dedicated to showcasing the brilliance of classical music, featuring a series of free events that promise to immerse attendees in the world of Bach, Bartók, and contemporary compositions.

The day begins at 12 PM with a Spotlight Concert titled "Bach to Hungary" at St. Paul’s Cathedral in downtown Burlington. This free afternoon recital offers a unique opportunity to experience the timeless beauty of Bach and Bartók in a magnificent setting. The concert will feature Ji Su Jung on marimba performing Bach's Lute Suite in E minor, BWV 996, followed by Robyn Bollinger and Soovin Kim on violins presenting selected Duos for Two Violins by Bartók. The musical journey continues with Bartók's String Quartet No. 4, performed by an ensemble comprising Robyn Bollinger and Soovin Kim on violins, Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt on viola, and Edward Arron on cello.

At 4 PM, the festival invites you to the Elley-Long Music Center at St. Michael’s College for the Young Composers Sounding Board I. This interactive session, hosted by Resident Composer David Serkin Ludwig, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process. Attendees will witness the 2024 Young Composers—Delfin Demiray, Jonah Cohen, and Yuri Lee—hear their compositions played for the first time by festival artists, providing a rare glimpse into the birth of new music.

The Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival is proud to present this day of free events, featuring an impressive lineup of artists including violinists Soovin Kim and Robyn Bollinger, violist Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt, cellist Edward Arron, percussionist Ji Su Jung, and our talented young composers. Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate the power of music and the creative spirit of composers both past and present.
