During the month of July the southern Maine community will enjoy a unique musical event—the 2009 Sanford-Springvale Classical Music Festival Mainely Mozart. Under the artistic direction of George Bozarth, the Festival returns chamber music to its proper setting—an intimate 50-seat venue with lively acoustics—and to its original instruments—historic fortepianos from 1775 Augsburg and 1795 Vienna and other late 18th-century period instruments. Enjoy the music of Mozart, Bach, Scarlatti, Haydn, Schubert, and Beethoven. All performances will be enhanced by lively commentary from the players.

(Discounted Tickets Available through June 15th)
Mozart at the Movies on Tuesdays, July 7th – 21st (FREE)
Mozart for Kids! on Thursday, July 9th (FREE)
The Festival is presented by Musique du jour, a Sanford-Springvale community-based non-profit organization, registered in the State of Maine.
George Bozarth has served as Artistic Director of Seattle’s highly acclaimed early-music series “Gallery Concerts” for twenty years. A member of the faculty of the University of Washington in Seattle and internationally known as a Brahms scholar, he also specializes in the performance of Classical and Romantic music on historic pianos. He spends his summers in southern Maine, where he and his wife, pianist Tamara Friedman, are restoring the historic Trafton House in Sanford. His book on Johannes Brahms and the eminent singer Sir George Henschel was published last autumn by Harmonie Park Press.
