IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO BUY TICKETS ON SITE BEFORE THE EVENT

CONCERT WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF THE AUDIENCE, TRANSMITTED LIVE – LIVE STREAMING ON YOUTUBE CHANNEL 

“When I was leaving, he [Anton Raaff] thanked me very politely; I on my part ensured him that I will arrange this aria for him in such a way that it will be a pleasure for him to sing; because I like an aria to be exactly matched to the singer, just like a well-tailored piece of clothing…” – wrote Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in his letter dated 28 February 1778. It should be emphasized, however, that the famous composer not only conformed to singers’ preference, but also found inspiration in their vocal skills, he was fascinated by the human voice.

As such, vocal and instrumental music, in a somewhat natural way, occupies a special place in Mozart’s work. Although it is mostly associated with brilliant sacral works, and above all – with opera, throughout his life Mozart also composed numerous interesting songs an arias. He wrote them throughout his entire life. His first original arias come from the 1760s, when he composed Conservati fedele KV 23 and some other works as a mere 10 year old boy. In line with the convention of a monumental aria, the work is a concert of sorts for the singer, allowing him an opportunity to show off. It’s worth noting that this piece reveals first traits of the composer’s exceptional dramatic talent. In Ombra felice KV 255, written over a decade later, we can see a bit more mature way of expression.

Subsequent Mozart’s songs and arias display various phases of the genre’s development – starting with simple dance forms to complicated dramatic scenes. However, all these works show us the genius composer’s creative individualism, as well as extraordinary lightness, grace, and expression. The passionate aria Bella mia fiamma KV 528, written for Józefa Dušek, or the sentimental Vado, ma dove? oh Dei! KV 583, created with Louise Villeneuve in mind, just like the most famous 1789 songs – e.g. Abendempfindung KV 523, An Chloe KV 524, Veilchen KV 476, Lied der Trennung KV 519 – are fully mature lyrical emanations overflowing with emotions. The breathtaking liltingness of the melody, the ease of the accompaniment, the noble sound, and the perfection of the form – these are the characteristic features of these small masterpieces.
