What to expect
11am: Die Mozarts in London
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Klavierkonzert Nr. 1 in D major, K 107, Sonata in G major, K 11
Georg Friedrich Händel: I know that my redeemer liveth (from „Messiah“)
Johann Christian Bach: Se il ciel mi divide (from „Ezio“), Concerto for piano in D major, WC 54 (Variations on „God save the King“)
Roast beef and royals in London in 1765: the Mozarts loved the cosmopolitan city on the Thames, the friendly royal family and especially the music of the “London Bach”, Johann Christian.
3pm: Cavaliere Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Divertimento in D major, K 136, Al mio ben mi veggio avanti (from „Ascanio in Alba“), Pupille amate (from „Lucio Silla“), Allegro aus String quartet in C major, K 157
Pietro Carlo Guglielmi: Per il primo e caro oggetto (from „Ruggiero“)
Castrati and clergy in Italy in and around 1770: what Mozart and his father had to report from Milan, Bologna and Rome is wonderfully illustrated in arias from Mozart's Milanese operas and string quartets.
6pm: Wolfgang in Paris
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Violin sonata in e minor, K 304, two french ariettas, K 307 & 308, Flute quartet in D major, K 285
Christoph Willibald Gluck: Dance of the Blessed Spirits (from „Orphée“), Ah, si la liberté me doit être ravie (from „Armide“)
Mozart was exasperated by the arrogance of the French nobility and the intrigues in Paris in 1778. Gluck’s heavenly music was balm for his frustrated soul. The famous flute solo from Gluck’s Orpheus and arias from Armide alternate with works by Mozart from 1778.

schönsten Stationen der Wanderjahre Mozarts
Back to the 18th century in a time machine. Mozart spent ten years of his life traveling. The Styriarte only needs one day and three concerts in Schloss Eggenberg to tell the best stories from his wandering years: about the nine-year-old child prodigy in London, the fourteen-year-old “Cavaliere Mozart” in Italy and the irritated genius in Paris in 1778. The family letters of the Mozarts make wonderful reading material for the Styrian actor Johannes Silberschneider.
