From Hungary to Brahms, and Beyond at Peakland United Methodist Church in Lynchburg, VA on Wednesday, August 19, 2026.
The Seven Hills Chamber Music Festival officially returns for its August 2026 season with “The Season of Song,” bringing an eclectic and ambitious lineup of vocal works, song-inspired chamber music, and a world-premiere opera to the Hill City. With classical masterworks and exciting new music alike, this year’s festival celebrates the voice alongside Lynchburg’s unique history. In this program, audiences will experience movements from Béla Bartók’s monumental Piano Quintet as well as Rezső Kókai’s 4 Hungarian Dances, paired with Brahms, Mahler, and a contemporary work by William Susman called Clouds and Flames, lauded as a “labyrinth of rhythms” (David Sanson).Location: Peakland United Methodist Church, 7pm (4434 Boonsboro Rd, Lynchburg, VA 24503)
