These outstanding soloists and ensembles will present representative works including the famed Liebestraum, Verdi’s Rigoletto paraphrase, and Liszt’s transcription of Schubert’s Ave Maria.” In addition to the music, there will be a pre- concert multimedia lecture titled Franz Liszt, Poet & Prophet, as Aaron Wunsch guides visitors through Liszt’s dramatic and turbulent life. The free event, which begins at 6:30 pm, is at the Community Presbyterian Church, 145 Carletondale Rd, Ringwood.

Do you own the score of Hymnus and would like to help the
Ringwood Friends of Music celebrate Hungarian culture and the 200th
Anniversary of Franz Liszt’s birth? Donaldo Garcia, the founder and
