Classically Lake View – Mozart in the Mausoleum

The Classically Lake View chamber music series is back for a second season. Under the artistic direction of Isabel Trautwein, programs include an ensemble of musicians from The Cleveland Orchestra alongside outstanding young artists.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed the brilliant Duo in G-major for violin and viola and his lovingly elegant Horn Quartet, for friends in need. This opening concert of the season will feature these works as well as “Plan and Elevation”, an architecture-inspired string quartet from 2015 by Pulitzer-prize-winning young composer Caroline Shaw.

Featuring:

Nathaniel Silberschlag (Horn)
Isabel Trautwein & Genevieve Smelser (Violins)
Gareth Zehngut (Viola)
Hawon Kim (Cello)

A note from Isabel Trautwein, Artistic Director of the Classically Lake View series:

What a joy to begin a second season of Classically Lake View concerts!

Music brings us closer and speaks where words fail. In these difficult times, it is more precious than ever to gather and find unity, surrounded by the eternal residents of Lake View whose voices whisper loudly to us of what matters most: being together and at peace. We hope these concerts will provide you with respite and quiet moments to focus simply on the music.

Many thanks to all who have made this new season possible, especially you, our audience members, all the musicians, the Paul M. Angell Family Foundation, and the fabulous team at Lake View Cemetery Foundation.
