Programme
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Wiener Mozart Orchester - Vienna Mozart Concerts
Overview

The most popular pieces by Mozart are presented in every concert! The concerts are designed in the style of "musical academies" of the 18th century, in which it was customary to perform individual movements from his numerous symphonies and solo concertos as well as overtures, arias and duets from his most famous operas.

The repertoire of the Vienna Mozart Orchestra includes more than 100 works by the great master of Viennese classical music, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The Vienna Mozart Orchestra was founded in 1986 by musicians from the best Viennese orchestras and chamber music ensembles.

Since then, the artists have devoted themselves enthusiastically to the work of the great master of Viennese classical music, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and have thus made a significant contribution to the preservation and maintenance of the musical tradition and cultural heritage of the city of Vienna.

True to their name, the 30 musicians exclusively present pieces by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born in Salzburg and lives in Vienna. In addition to the symphonic works and the composer's numerous instrumental concerts, the repertoire also includes the many famous opera arias and duets.

With the popular series of concerts Vienna MOZART Concerts in historical costumes, which takes place every year in Vienna, the orchestra continues the tradition of the 18th century, when concerts were called "Musical Academies" Performing symphonies and solo concerts alternating with well-known and popular arias and duets.

The Vienna Mozart Orchestra puts together its concert programs in the style of these "musical academies" and spoils its audience in the most delicious way with the most beautiful works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The artists all present themselves in magnificent historical costumes and wigs and perform in the largest and most renowned Viennese concert halls on.

The Golden Hall of the Musikverein and the Brahms Hall undoubtedly create the ideal setting to take the concert-goer back to the end of the 18th century for an evening.

Every year from the beginning of May to the end of October and in December, the Vienna MOZART concerts enrich the cultural and musical life of the city of Vienna. Concerts have been a permanent fixture in the Vienna event calendar for many years and have become an indispensable part of it. The winter months are used for tours and foreign guest performances. The Vienna Mozart Orchestra has toured Japan and Germany several times in the last few years and achieved great success with guest performances in Italy, Korea, Taiwan and many other countries.

In January 1991 the orchestra also had the honor of opening the Mozart Year in Tokyo. In addition, numerous CDs have been released (“The Best of Mozart” Vol. 1 and 2, “Sinfonia concertante & Clarinet Concerto”, “A Mozart Concert in Vienna”, “A Mozart Evening in Vienna”…) and a video film entitled “Mozart in Salzburg".

Music lovers will also have the opportunity in the next few years to experience a Vienna MOZART concert and, together with the Vienna Mozart Orchestra, immerse themselves for one evening in an era that shaped the royal seat of the Habsburg Empire like no other: the Baroque period!

Venue Info

Wiener Musikverein - Vienna
Location   Musikvereinsplatz 1

The Wiener Musikverein is a concert hall in the Innere Stadt borough of Vienna, Austria. It is the home of the Vienna Philharmonic. The acoustics of the "Great Hall" (Großer Saal) have earned it recognition alongside concert halls including Berlin's Konzerthaus, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and Boston's Symphony Hall.

The building is located on Dumbastraße / Bösendorferstraße behind the Hotel Imperial near the Vienna Ring Road and the Wien River, between Bösendorfer street and Charles' Square. However, since Bösendorfer street is a relatively small street, the building is better known as being between Charles' Square and Kärntner Ring (part of Vienna Ring Road). It was erected as the new concert hall run by the Society of Friends of Music in Vienna, on a piece of land provided by Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria in 1863.

The plans were designed by Danish architect Theophil Hansen in the Neoclassical style of an ancient Greek temple, including a concert hall and a smaller chamber music hall. The building was inaugurated on 6 January 1870. A major donor was Nikolaus Dumba, industrialist and liberal politician of Greek descent, whose name the Austrian government gave to one of the streets surrounding the Musikverein.

The Great Hall's lively acoustics are primarily based on Hansen's intuition, as he could not rely on any studies on architectural acoustics. The room's rectangular shape and proportions, its boxes, and sculptures allow early and numerous sound reflections.

The Hall originally included a historic pipe organ built by Friedrich Ladegast. Its first organ recital was held by Anton Bruckner in 1872. The present-day instrument was originally installed in 1907 by the Austrian firm of Rieger Orgelbau, highly esteemed by musicians such as Franz Schmidt or Marcel Dupré, and rebuilt in 2011.

In 2001, a renovation program began. Several new rehearsal halls were installed in the basement.
