The Vienna Mozart Orchestra was founded in 1986 by musicians from the best and most famous Viennese orchestras and from various chamber music ensembles. The artists all shared the aim to preserve the musical tradition and the cultural heritage of Vienna by dedicating themselves to the cultivation and representation of symphonic chamber music of the Viennese Classical Period. The 30 musicians devote themselves exclusively to the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the most accomplished composer of that period who, though born in Salzburg, found his home in Vienna.
Led by Gerald Grünbacher, the orchestra's repertoire ranges from all of Mozart's symphonies to a great variety of his instrumental concertos (for violin, piano, and wind), to arias and duets from his most famous operas. Performing in authentic costumes and wigs, the orchestra’s performances make the audience feel as though they have stepped back in time to the end of the 18th century.
The Vienna Mozart Orchestra performs hundreds of concerts per year in the Austrian capital in the Golden Hall of the Musikverein, the Brahms Hall, and in the Vienna State Opera, and plays an important part in the artistic life of Vienna. During the winter the orchestra tours worldwide, visiting locations such as Japan, Germany, Italy, Korea, Taiwan, and many other countries. They have recorded numerous CDs as well as a video entitled Mozart in Salzburg.
