The Fredericksburg Community Orchestra will present the 2026 Van der Stucken Festival on Saturday, April 11 at 7 p.m. at St. Joseph's Halle (212 W. San Antonio) in Fredericksburg. 

The festival honors Frank Van der Stucken, a composer and conductor born in Fredericksburg in 1858 who became an internationally renowned musical leader.

The evening will feature Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" performed by guest soloist Dr. Fagner Magrinelli Rocha with the Fredericksburg Community Orchestra and musicians from Angelo State University's Symphony Orchestra.

Vivaldi's beloved work consists of four violin concertos depicting the seasons through music—from spring bird songs and summer thunderstorms to autumn hunting scenes and winter's icy landscape.

About Frank Van der Stucken

Born in Fredericksburg in 1858 to Belgian immigrant parents, Van der Stucken returned to Europe at age eight to study music. He trained at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp and in Leipzig, and was mentored by Franz Liszt.

Returning to the United States in 1884, Van der Stucken became director of New York's Arion Society and later conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, where he championed both American and Flemish composers. He also served as dean of Cincinnati's College of Music.
