The Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival announces its 2014 Festival events schedule and performers. At the core of this year’s Festival, Poetry in Music, will be an exploration of poetic music !both instrumental and vocal. Soovin Kim, the Festival’s Artistic Director says, “Art Song is one of the treasures of the chamber music repertoire. Composers such as Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann wrote some of their most beautiful melodies to the words of poets such as Wilhelm Müller and Heinrich Heine. We will experience the sublime nature of these songs and explore the nuances of their French, German, Russian, and English texts.” Composers, David Ludwig and William Bolcom, will discuss their process of creating musical structures for the poetry, setting the words to music. Larger chamber works without voice by musical poets such as W.A. Mozart, Johannes Brahms, and Maurice Ravel will anchor the week’s programs. The Festival takes place from Saturday, August 23 through Sunday, August 31, at the Elley-Long Music !Center in Colchester, Vermont. The Festival will feature vocalists Hyunah Yu, Sarah Shafer and Randall Scarlatta, and will present many artists familiar to Festival audiences: pianists Ignat Solzhenitsyn and Shai Wosner, clarinetist Romie de-Guise Langlois, violinists Soovin Kim and Bella Hristova, and cellists Edward Arron, Marcy Rosen and Peter Stumpf.
