Concerts in Mozart's House: A Journey to the Past

About the Event

Enjoy this concert with most beautiful works of the Viennese Classic at the Viennese Mozart House (Mozarthaus Wien), in which the great composer himself lived and worked. The very talented Mozart Ensemble Wien will perform in historical costumes.

The primary focus of the concert series is on chamber music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, but compositions by Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Franz Schubert are also on the program.

The concerts at the Mozart House take place at the monastery where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived and worked for Archbishop Colloredo in the year 1781. Mozart actually only officially resided in this house for six weeks in the year 1781 from March 16th until May 2nd. Mozart appreciated the wonderful acoustics and the incomparable atmosphere of the 'Sala Terrena'. The 'Sala Terrena' is the oldest concert hall in Vienna, where Mozart himself performed many concerts.

Mozart Ensemble:
Wed, Fri, Sat & Sun: String Quartet (2 violins, viola, cello)
The string quartet plays divertimenti, serenades and the most beautiful quartets from the pens of Mozart, Haydn, Schubert and Beethoven.

Tue & Thu: Piano Trio (violin, piano, cello)
Enjoy famous trios from the Viennese Classical period and breathtaking solo pieces for piano, violin and cello by Chopin, Liszt, Bach, Schubert and many others.

Bon programme et bons musiciens. La salle à elle seule vaut le coup d'oeil même si l'atmosphère est un peu étouffante. La réverbération de la salle est gênante car le manque de volume donne l'impression que les musiciens jouent trop fort. Une très bonne soirée néanmoins.
