ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE
THE GOLDEN AGE OF VIENNA
“Vienna’s Golden Age” signifies the fin-de-siecle cultural hothouse that spawned innovations in art, music, science, literature, and philosophy. Creative pioneers such as Mahler, Freud, Gutave Klimt, Hofmannsthal, and Schoenberg rubbed shoulders in the elegant coffee houses, art salons, and concert halls of Vienna during those momentous, pre-war years.
Seven extraordinary musicians will explore the charm and portent of the music that flowered in the rich cultural ferment of Golden Age Vienna.
