The UGA Performing Arts Center will present the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center Feb. 25 at 3 p.m. in Hodgson Concert Hall. The program, “From Vienna to Hollywood,” will showcase the music of Franz Schubert and Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
Vienna has arguably produced more great music than any other city in the world, but Hollywood’s movie industry has also generated a high level of creative composing. The Chamber Music Society will perform two Fantasies by Schubert from Vienna, followed by the “Suite for Piano Left Hand, Two Violins and Cello” by Hollywood’s Korngold.
The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center is the nation’s premier repertory company for chamber music with a rotating roster of award-winning instrumentalists. The musicians performing on the Feb. 25 program will be pianists Juho Pohjonen and Wu Qian, violinists Sean Lee and Danbi Um and cellist Mihai Marica.
