The Mozart Ensemble

After numerous concerts in Austria and abroad, the string quartet “Mozart Ensemble” has established itself as a part of Viennese musical life. The musicians perform in historical costumes. The repertoire includes works of Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Haydn, Strauss.

The sound of the Ensemble is typically Viennese - light and clear, further enhanced by the marvelous acoustics of Sala Terrena.

Sala Terrena

Sala Terrena, probably the oldest concert hall in Vienna, is a chamber of the at the Church of the Teutonic Order, and is located in the historic center of the city, two walking minutes from St. Steven’s Cathedral. The walls of the hall are decorated with excellent frescoes in the style of the late Venetian Renaissance. With only 60 seats, this beautifully renovated jewel of baroque architecture offers the perfect setting for chamber music in a very intimate way.

Mozart performs in Sala Terrena

In March 1791 Mozart was summoned to Vienna, where his employer, Archbishop Colloredo, was attending the celebrations for the accession of Joseph II to the Austrian throne. The composer lived in the building (hence the name Mozarthaus), and performed for the Archbishop and his guests at the Sala Terrrena.
