TALES FROM VIENNA
Experience the magic of Vienna in its heyday with classic pieces of the era played by Emma Johnson and Friends, highlighted by the stories behind the music and photos and paintings of the time.
Vienna in the 19th century was an extraordinary city, a hotbed of musical creativity which nurtured Beethoven, Brahms, Strauss and Schubert. But germinating under the apparently harmless mania for wine, women and song were the seeds of social discontent that would trigger the First World War.

"I heard nothing but praise from the audience for your performance and selection of music..." Gemma Okell, director Blackheath Concert Halls
