So, what is a Schubertiade? Originally, it was an informal,unadvertised gathering held at a private home, sponsored by one of Schubert’swealthier friends or aficionados of his music. They served as aliterary-musical salon, and often included poetry recitations, dancing, andother sociable pastimes. Gatherings were as small as a dozen or as large asover one hundred. Many of the early Schubertiades included Schubert in person,sometimes accompanying vocal soloists on the piano.
These early Scheubertiades began in Vienna, where Schubertspent most of his life, but eventually spread to other locations. ModernSchubertiades continue this tradition, presented as concerts or festivalsdevoted to Schubert’s music, staged annually in Austria and other Europeancountries. The largest include piano recitals, chamber concerts, orchestralconcerts, lectures, and master classes by renowned artists.
