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...
