Vienna Mozart Concerts at Musikverein

 

An unmistakable Viennese sound resulting from its long-standing concert practice distinguishes the Vienna Mozart Orchestra as one of the most experienced Mozart’s interpreters of our time. The costumes and wigs worn by the musicians at the Vienna Mozart Concerts are valuable reproductions of formal dresses from the time of Mozart. The composition of the program shows the musical exercise of “Musical academies“ from the late 18th century. Single movements from symphonies or solo concerts are performed together with best known and popular arias and duets. The venues of the Vienna Mozart Concerts are the very musical landmarks of Vienna and belong to the most prominent musical addresses of the world at large. The Vienna Mozart Orchestra was found in 1986 by musicians from the best Viennese orchestras and chamber music ensembles. The work of in Salzburg born and in Vienna resident Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Salzburg 1756 – Vienna 1791) constitutes the leitmotif for the 30 musicians. With the annually from April till October in Vienna occurring concert series “Vienna MOZART Concerts in period costumes” the orchestra ties up to the tradition of the 18th century as concerts were called “Musical Academies”. The Vienna Mozart Concerts at Musikverein’s Golden Hall and Brahms Hall hold for many years now an important place in Vienna’s event calendar which cannot be imagined without them.
