W. A. Mozarteum presents
presented by the W. A. Mozarteum
This Festival celebrates the life and music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of the most loved of all composers. Enjoy a varied selection of his wonderful music, with readings from the Mozart family's lively correspondence and other contemporary sources.
Celebrating Twenty Years!
Formed in 2006 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth in 1756, the W. A. Mozarteum will celebrate two decades of presenting festivals and concerts in W. A., which have featured a huge quantity of works by Mozart and his friends and contemporaries, performed by Perth's finest musicians.
For this Festival, the W. A. Mozarteum continues to explore lesser known repertoire by Mozart, particularly from the rich vein of creativity produced during his teenage years in Salzburg, with early symphonies, serenades and divertimentos by the young genius, as well as his much loved concerto for flute and harp.
Four Sunday afternoon concerts will be held at the University of W. A.'s Callaway Auditorium, plus a special evening soirée in Darlington to celebfrate Mozart's exact 270th birthday!
Artists include renowned harp soloist Yi-Yun Loei, with distinguished principal musicians from the W. A. Symphony. Artistic director is Dr. Emily Gunson (flute), who has performed for the Mozart Gesellschaft Kurpfalz in Mannheim, Germany.
