Vienna

At the Season Finale, Saturday 16 May, again at the Menuhin Hall, the winning composition from our third Young Composer Competition, alongside some of the other entries, will be performed by local students sourced through Surrey Arts in a short early evening concert. A presentation of the prizes will follow the concert.

Following the prize-winners' concert, the Sitkovetsky Trio, with two outstanding students from the Yehudi Menuhin School, will perform a concert entitled 'Vienna', reflecting the strong ties that Mozart, Schubert, and Mahler all had to the city. Schubert lived all his life in Vienna, and his Trout Quintet is a work overflowing with melody, warmth, and playfulness — not least in the sparkling set of variations on his much-loved song Die Forelle (The Trout). Mahler came to Vienna as a student, and Mozart made the city his home in the final decade of his life, creating many of his greatest works there, including the stormy G minor Piano quartet.

Friends' booking opens at 11.20am on 2 December 2025. Public booking opens on 7 January 2026.
