Palace Concert featuring works by Mozart and Weber

In the magnificent marble hall of Schloss Mirabell, where the Mozart family once performed for the Salzburg archbishops, Ensemble 1756, together with solo clarinetist Marius Birtea, presents a program featuring works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Carl Maria von Weber. The concert spans from Mozart’s youthful Divertimento in D major K. 136, through Weber’s sonorous Clarinet Quintet op. 34, to the rousing overture to Le Nozze di Figaro. The highlight is Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto in A major K. 622, a work of timeless beauty and emotional depth.

Ensemble 1756, composed of graduates from the Mozarteum Salzburg, captivates with its flexible instrumentation and interpretations that blend chamber-music precision with vivid expressiveness. The evening invites listeners to experience Mozart’s diverse soundscapes—from cheerful lightness to dramatic intensity—in one of the world’s most historically significant concert halls.
