This is a part of the series of lectures and concerts, European Capitals of Music.  

Famous musical capitals provide the framework for this  series of lectures with live music. The first three concentrate not only on 19^th century Vienna, but on Schubert in Vienna and writing chamber music. Why did this music happen then, where was it played, who provoked, preformed and paid for it. And was it considered successful?
The final three ask similar questions of other capital cities: 20^th century chamber music in Paris, baroque music in London under the shadow of Handel, and virtuoso violin playing in Rome focused on Corelli, the 300^th anniversary of whose death is being celebrated this season.
The works in each programme are played by present members of the Royal Academy of Music.
