W. A. Mozart: Solemn Mass

Experience an evening dedicated to Mozart with his Missa Solemnis and Exsultate, Jubilate at St. Stephen's Cathedral – performed by musicians from his birthplace. The Missa Solemnis is Mozart's last complete setting of the Mass. It was only later that it received the title Missa solemnis, as its festive orchestration bears similarities to the genre of the Missa solemnis. Compared to the Coronation Mass, which was composed a year earlier and overshadowed this work unjustly, the Missa Solemnis displays a stricter ecclesiastical-liturgical stance, yet possesses a comparable inventiveness. The autograph of the score is dated March 1780, meaning it was written just before Mozart left Salzburg to settle in Vienna. The solemn concert is complemented by the radiant Exsultate, Jubilate. It is one of Mozart's most famous church works, allowing a bright soprano to showcase all her skills. The Hallein Chamber Orchestra and the Amadeus Choir Salzburg, along with renowned soloists under the direction of Moritz Guttmann, will perform the works in the cathedral. Look forward to a jubilantly beautiful evening at St. Stephen's Cathedral.
