Spring Chamber Music Festival 2016

“The Music of Vienna”

June 9-14, 2016 St. Paul’s Cathedral

127 NW 7th Street (at Robinson) Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Vienna! Classical music’s most hallowed ground, birthplace of Schubert and Schoenberg and home to many other musical giants, including Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms. On June 9-14, 2016, the Brightmusic Chamber Ensemble presents “The Music of Vienna” in its fifth annual spring chamber music festival at St. Paul’s Cathedral in downtown Oklahoma City. The four-concert festival is a breathtaking sampler of the Viennese music scene spanning more than 250 years and featuring some of the best-loved chamber works of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and Mahler, among many others. Fifteen Brightmusic musicians will be appearing during the Festival. See the attached sheet for a complete list.

All concerts will begin at 7:30 pm, except for the Sunday concert, which is 4:00 pm., at St. Paul’s Cathedral, 127 NW 7th Street (at Robinson). A pass for all four concerts is available at the door or on our website at www.brightmusic.org/concerts for $50 each (a savings of $30 over individual concert tickets of $20). Students and active-duty military personnel are admitted free with ID. Also, any who would like to attend but feel they cannot due to financial hardship as a result of recent layoffs in the energy sector are invited to join us as guests of the

musicians by simply advising the person at the front desk that they are guests of the musicians and no questions will be asked.
