Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on January 27, 1756.
Every January since 1956, his birthday has been celebrated by the people of Salzburg,
Austria, where he was born, with a music festival devoted entirely to his works.
Along with his chamber music and symphonies, Mozart's operas are often given in
concert form.
The festival also prides itself on presenting many of his lesser known works, which are
seldom performed elsewhere.
The principle ensembles for the festival are the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and the
Mozarteum Orchestra, under the leadership of both native and guest conductors.
The concerts are given in a number of sites associated with Mozart's life, including the
Mozarteum Building, St. Peter's Church, the Salzburg Cathedral, and even Mozart's
home.
Organizers plan a huge celebration in 2006 for Mozart's 250th birthday anniversary.
