Castle Concert in Salzburg

At this Advent matinee in the Marble Hall of Schloss Mirabell, the Mozart Consort Salzburg presents a program featuring works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The performance includes Mozart’s Salzburg Divertimento in D major K. 136, a concerto for cello and strings in D major after K. 447, the well-known Serenade in G major K. 525 "Eine kleine Nachtmusik," and the String Quartet in A major K. 169. The evening concludes with Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations op. 33 for cello and string quartet, performed by cellist Matthias Beckmann.

Founded in 1999, the Mozart Consort Salzburg brings together members with many years of experience in ensembles such as the Mozarteum Orchestra or the Salzburg Festival. The ensemble’s repertoire spans not only Mozart and the Viennese Classical period but also works from the Baroque and Romantic eras.
