The Vienna Mozart Orchestra performs with internationally renowned vocalists and instrumentalists in Vienna's most extraordinary concert halls, for example the Vienna State Opera,  Musikverein Golden Hall,  Hofburg (Imperial Palace) and the Vienna Konzerthaus.

The Vienna Mozart Orchestra was founded in 1986 by musicians from the best and most famous Viennese orchestras and from various chamber music ensembles. The artists all share the aim to preserve the musical tradition and cultural heritage of Vienna by dedicating themselves to the cultivation and representation of the symphonic chamber music of the Viennese Classical Period.  As the name Vienna Mozart Orchestra implies, the 30 musicians devote themselves exclusively to the works of  Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the most accomplished representative of that period who, although born in Salzburg, found his home in Vienna. The orchestra's repertoire includes the complete symphonies of  Mozart as well as a great variety of his instrumental concertos (for violin, piano and winds) in addition to selected beautiful arias and duets from his most famous operas.

The Vienna Mozart Orchestra plays in magnificent historical costumes and wigs and creates a special atmosphere in the venues Vienna Musikverein, with its world-famous Golden Hall (venue of the New Year's Eve concert by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra which is shown worldwide on TV), the prestigious Vienna Konzerthaus, the Vienna State Opera and the Imperial Palace (Vienna Hofburg) and hereby offers the unsurpassable frames for this sensual journey back in the times of the baroque.  In the style of "musical academies", as Vienna concerts were known in Mozart's time, the audience enjoy single movements from symphonies and solo concertos, as well as operatic overtures, arias and duets from especially popular and well-known works. The Vienna Mozart Concerts even fulfill the wishes of the Strauss lovers by performing the most impressing pieces by the Strauss Dynasty, such as "The Blue Danube Waltz" and "The Radetzky March".

With their weekly four performances from May till October every year the Vienna Mozart Concerts really offer the first option for high-quality musical entertainment in Vienna, Austria. You can be absolutely sure to enjoy the Vienna Mozart Orchestra and the best of Mozart and Strauss!
