A Toast to Vienna | Town Hall, Bayfield, ON
A Toast to Vienna | Town Hall, Bayfield, ON
A century of music, from Schubert to Richard Strauss, in celebration of the city of Vienna
date: July 24, 2004
This was the first in an annual series of fundraising concerts on behalf of the Bayfield Town Hall which eventually gave rise to the Bayfield Festival of Song (2007-2012). At the suggestion of friends in the village, the performance was a celebration of Vienna (and was followed by dinner, for most of the audience, at the Red Pump). The singers were four present and recent students of the Opera School at the University of Toronto. Their performance of the Brahms Liebeslieder-Walzer (in an order reestablishing the composer’s original plan) occupied the second half of the programme; the Artistic Directors introduced themselves at the start with four piano-duets.
