St. Augustine's in the Woods Episcopal Church

Friends and Neighbors: A Musical Address in Old Vienna

At St. Augustine's in the Woods Episcopal Church, this concert traces a musical path to 18th-century Vienna through the story of one remarkable residence, the Grosses Michaelerhaus. Under a single roof, neighbors shaped one another's art, and the program reflects that exchange with music linked to Nicola Porpora, the renowned Italian teacher, a young Joseph Haydn who worked and played for Porpora in return for instruction, Marianna Martines, a gifted composer and keyboard player who lived in the building and studied with both, and W. A. Mozart, a frequent guest and friend. The performance honors how proximity, mentorship, and friendship can spark cultural change, placing the often overlooked Martines alongside her celebrated contemporaries to reveal the breadth of the Viennese spirit. Inspired by a house once filled with salons and corridors of sound, this gathering offers chamber music that blends elegance with storytelling and a sense of connection, echoing the creative community found on Whidbey Island.
