Confirming rumor - Mozart AND Beethoven are in Charleston!



special journal entry by Fritz von Schnitzler

Alas, the rumor is true – not only is Herr Mozart here, but Herr Beethoven is in Charleston as well! 

Fireworks erupted when Beethoven crashed the Mozart in the South Festival Photo Shoot in the elegant Great Hall of the OLD EXCHANGE BUILDING.  While Mozart was posing with illustrious Chamber Music Charleston cellist Timothy O’Malley, it appeared that Herr Beethoven was in the background cozying up to Chamber Music Charleston Artistic Director Sandra Nikolajevs.  



Word on the street is that Beethoven is trying to edge his way into the Mozart Festival.   We do not know if Beethoven will have any luck with that, but he was truly fortunate that Mozart did not erupt in spasms of anger when he realized Beethoven was ruining the photo shoot!


Actually, as you will see, by the end of the photo shoot Beethoven and Mozart seemed to be old pals.  With both of them in town from now until the Festival, I will be as clever as I can to ferrett out their activities.  I will report all sightings of either Mozart or Beethoven at the local haunts!
