DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKET 5:00pm   BUY TICKET 7:00pm \n  \nTwo concerts in-person at Hanna Boys Center \nAfter the long period of illness and suffering in 2020-21\, we turn to Beethoven’s masterpiece\, the Heiliger Dankgesang Quartet\, for comfort and inspiration. Written just two years before his death\, after several years of emotional and physical struggle\, Beethoven found himself well enough to compose again and grateful to be alive. He titled the third movement “Heiliger Dankgesang eines Genesenen an die Gottheit\, in der Lydischen Tonart.” This translates as “Song of Thanksgiving to the Deity from a convalescent\, in the Lydian mode.” It is a profound and heartfelt prayer of thanks after his illness. The quartet is preceded by a delicious appetizer of Rolla Duets for violin and viola. \nBettina Mussumeli\, violin\nJodi Levitz\, viola \nApprentice String Quartet:\nKako Miura and Vivian Mayers\, violin\nRamon Carrera-Martinez\, viola\nDrake Driscoll\, cello \n  \nFULL VIRTUAL FESTIVAL SUBSCRIPTION

SUMMARY:BLATTNER LECTURE SERIES: Conversations with Kate
DESCRIPTION:Reserve Virtual Ticket\nFULL FESTIVAL SUBSCRIPTION\n  \nBlattner Series Lecture and Zoom chat with Kate van Orden\, bassoonist and Harvard University’s Dwight P. Robinson Jr. Professor of Music \n  \nLove and Longing \nThe festival theme beautifully captures the essence of Romanticism\, both the Endless Longing from which any True Romantic necessarily suffered and the dark\, unsettled quality of the music. In this year’s final talk\, Kate van Orden discusses the nineteenth-century cult of emotion\, the musicians\, poets\, and artists who lived by it\, and how it was that music became a model for all the arts and Romanticism itself an infinite striving toward the unattainable.

SUMMARY:BLATTNER LECTURE SERIES: Imagining Friendships
DESCRIPTION:Reserve virtual ticket\nFULL FESTIVAL SUBSCRIPTION\nBlattner Series Lecture and Zoom chat with Heather Hadlock\, Associate Professor of Musicology\, Stanford University. \nImagining Friendships \nA “room of one’s own\,” though necessary for creative work\, can be a lonely place. Until the 20th century\, isolation was a defining feature of a female composer’s experience. Each woman who composed and published her music in 19th century Europe tended to regard herself\, and be celebrated or disparaged by her contemporaries\, as the first and only woman with the talent\, skill\, and ambition to compose. They worked within masculine networks\, typically beginning with musical fathers or brothers and extending outward to husbands\, teachers\, mentors\, peers\, students\, and publishers. Even female composers who knew and appreciated each other\, as Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel did for a few years in the 1840s\, left scant traces of their relationship in letters and diaries. \nThis lecture will consider the overlapping lives of Schumann\, Hensel\, and Louise Farrenc\, three brilliant and prolific pianist-composers of the Romantic era. What did they have in common? How did their creative lives and opportunities differ according to the city\, class\, and family each was born into? Where did their paths cross\, and what did they know of each other? Above all\, what might they have heard and appreciated in each others’ music?

SUMMARY:COLLABORATION: Harry Burleigh\, Dvorak & others 
DESCRIPTION:Reserve VIRTUAL TICKET\nFULL FESTIVAL SUBSCRIPTION\n  \nOne advantage of post-pandemic remote programming is the sudden realization that musicians from all over the world can play for global audiences\, without anyone having to leave their hometowns. In this concert we reach across great distances\, geographically and historically. In a recital delivered to us from Boston by the incomparable baritone\, Dashon Burton\, in collaboration with two of VMMF’s East Coast pianists on a 1901 Steinway\, we celebrate one of America’s great early 20th-century composers\, Harry Burleigh\, and his influence on a visiting colleague from afar\, Antonín Dvořák. Burleigh\, himself a baritone\, composed art songs\, and was also responsible for bringing the spiritual into the Classical song recital. While attending the National Conservatory of Music in New York in the 1890’s he made the acquaintance of Anton Dvořák\, the school’s visiting President. Dvořák\, struck by the power of the spirituals he learned from Burleigh\, used some of the melodies in his own music. This concert will feature the music of Burleigh\, Dvořák\, Leoš Janáček and other influential composers of the period. \nDashon Burton\, baritone\nRenana Gutman\, piano\nAudrey Vardanega\, piano \n  \nVirtual: Pre-recorded concert + zoom reception with Festival Musicians!

SUMMARY:ROMANCE:  Clara Schumann Romances\, Mozart Concerto & German Songs
DESCRIPTION:Reserve virtual ticket\nFULL FESTIVAL SUBSCRIPTION\n  \n  \nIn Mozart’s time\, musicians were accustomed to arranging orchestral music for smaller groups of musicians to play in their own homes. Similarly\, during the pandemic\, musicians have had to find inventive ways to share their art. In this concert\, pianist Apprentice Suren Barry follows in that tradition\, transcribing and performing one of the great Mozart Piano Concertos in a version for keyboard and string quartet\, recorded in the VMMF Directors’ Berkeley living room. Rachel Barton Pine and Eric Zivian will collaborate from a distance in Clara Schumann’s exquisite Romances\, completing this program that brings artists together in ways new and old. \nEmily Marvosh\, contralto\nFeaturing Rachel Barton Pine\, violin and Suren Barry\, piano\nElizabeth Blumenstock\, Carla Moore\, violins\nLiana Bérubé\, viola\nTanya Tomkins\, cello \nVirtual: Pre-recorded concert + Zoom reception with Festival Musicians!
