Summer 2025:  Vienna!

The convergence of Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven in the city of Vienna toward the end of the 18th century created a miraculous amount of incredible music. Mozart and Haydn became friends and were inspired by each other’s works. The young Beethoven came onto the scene, trying to find his place but knowing the musical culture was well established. The output from the three composers was astounding over this short span of twenty years: 30 symphonies and 46 string quartets!
