Celebrate a Musical Genius’ Birthday at Mozart Week

Mozart Week is one of the best Salzburg attractions in the city’s events calendar. Around the time of Mozart’s birthday (January 27), the city comes to life to celebrate the famous composer and all his incredible work. During this special week, the city’s concert halls host spectacular music shows, including chamber concerts, orchestra concerts, soloist concerts, staged operas, and recitals with world-class artists from around the globe performing.

Each year, new performers and ensembles emerge, but most lineups will likely include the Vienna Philharmonic, Cappella Andrea Barca, Sir András Schiff, and Maestro Daniel Barenboim. Only a few extra-special performances have the original instruments used by Mozart. You get a rare chance to hear his work exactly as he intended it to sound thanks to this. The festival has been held at the Mozarteum Foundation Salzburg virtually annually since 1956. Up to five concerts are scheduled for prominent venues like the Mozarteum Foundation, Mozart Residence, and House for Mozart on any given day.
