The Woodstock Mozart Festival is a summer music festival in Woodstock, Illinois which presents classical music concerts, primarily of Mozart's music, by the Woodstock Mozart Festival Orchestra and guest artists. == History == The Woodstock Mozart Festival had its origins in the 1987 as part of a summer festival at the Woodstock Opera House entitled "Woodfest". Additional performances were scheduled for the following year, and the 3 week festival has continued to be held annually. Internationally recognized guest artists have been a mainstay of the festival since the beginning. The festival's original conductor/artistic director was Charles Bornstein. Since 1983, guest conductors have been an integral part of the festival format. Performances have also included a chamber music series and concerts in the Woodstock square gazebo (as part of the City of Woodstock's concert in the parks series). John von Rhein, classical music critic for the Chicago Tribune, writes "The Woodstock Mozart Festival has long been a means for local classical buffs to catch rising young musicians and established artists who seldom get to crack the sacred precincts of downtown Chicago." In 1991 the festival`s grand finale, had featured the Paris Boys Choir (Petits Chanteurs de Sainte-Croix de Neuilly) In 1995, the Festival Orchestra was named "Chamber Orchestra of the Year" by the (Illinois Council of Orchestras ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Woodstock Mozart Festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
