Castle Concert in Salzburg

In the historic Marble Hall of Schloss Mirabell, the ensemble Orphée presents a concert featuring works of the Viennese Classical period and romantic virtuosity. The program includes Mozart’s cheerful overture from The Abduction from the Seraglio, the lyrical String Quartet No. 4 in C major, as well as his elegant Concerto for Flute and Strings in D major, performed by flutist Irmgard Messin. After the intermission, Haydn’s humorous Symphony No. 94 Surprise and François Borne’s brilliant Fantaisie brillante on themes from Bizet’s Carmen – a fireworks display of technical mastery – will be heard.

The ensemble Orphée brings together excellent musicians from Salzburg’s top orchestras, such as the Camerata Academica and the Mozarteum Orchestra. With a passion for chamber music precision and stylistic diversity – from the early Classical period to the 20th century – they transform the evening into a special auditory experience.
