Vermont Mozart Festival R.I.P.

Print More

No more sunset picnics at Shelburne Farms listening to the Mozart Festival Orchestra–the Vermont Mozart Festival announced yesterday that it was closing shop after 37 years.  We’ll mourn its passing with Mozart’s Piano Quartet in G minor, played by an ensemble including pianist Menachem Pressler, a frequent performer at the Festival over the years.

Also today, Vivaldi’s Magnificat.
