The Mozarteumorchester is as much a part of Salzburg as dumplings and Mozart balls. Just like the culinary delights, the orchestra is celebrated worldwide as a bestseller. Wherever it performs, it captivates audiences with its lively and refreshing interpretations. The orchestra of the city and province of Salzburg was founded in 1841 with the support of Mozart's widow Constanze and his sons. Today, it rightly ranks among Austria's leading orchestras due to its unique sound culture.

The guest conductor of the evening is Andrew Manze. He is regarded as a leading specialist in the world of historical performance practice and is widely celebrated as one of the most stimulating and inspiring conductors of his generation. Augustin Hadelich is one of the great violinists of our time. He is known for his enchanting tone, outstanding technique, and deeply felt and convincing interpretations. It is no wonder that the trade magazine "Musical America" named him "Instrumentalist of the Year" in 2018. As a seductive instrument, he recently founded his own ensemble New Seasons in search of his personal sound ideal.
