"Little Mozart" to appear as well for the Mozart in the South Festival

I have heard that interest is growing in the upcoming appearance of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for our 2013 Mozart in the South Festival.  I would like to confirm that "Little Mozart" will be here for the festival as well - especially to participate in the "Little Mozart Circus!"

The Little Mozart Circus is an amazing outdoor event, this year taking place on Saturday, September 21 from 8:30am-1pm on Marion Square.

"Little Mozart" has encouraged a number of student performers to come out and play under his Big Tent!

Scheduled performers include YOST! (the Hungry Monk Bluegrass Band), Hungry Monk Fiddlers, Childbloom Guitar, Charleston County School of the Arts Orchestra, Charleston Children's Chorus, Music & Arts, Leonard School of Music and Na Fidlieri.

"Little Mozart' is most excited about the annual Suzuki Play In, lead by the Carolina String Academy at Ashley Hall School.  This is a chance for ANY violinist who knows music from Suzuki Books 1 and 2 to come on stage and perform with other violinists!

Also, during the whole Circus we will have an Instrument Petting Zoo where children can try their hand at playing violin, cello, flute, trumpet and drums!

So, be sure to mark your calendars and come on out to Marion Square on Saturday, September 21. 

Tracking Mozart in Charleston - Coverage of the Mozart in the South Festival

special journal entry by Fritz von Schnitzler

I was intrigued to hear that there would be a festival celebrating one of Austria's great composers - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - in the charming city of Charleston, South Carolina, United States of America.  Eager to take a little trip and withdraw from the bustle of Vienna, I eagerly accepted the assignment of foreign correspondent for our illustrious newspaper, the Kronenen Zeitungung to cover this festival.

I arrived in Charleston and was strolling around the city’s quaint cobblestone streets, when I was almost run over by a group of young students exclaiming that Mozart was already in town – making a publicity tour -  and creating quite a commotion!

The following journal entries recount my experiences in Charleston as I track this composer in the wild...
