The Salzburg Project

The Austrian part of the Schools@Concerts project took place in Salzburg with one class (21 children) of 11/12 year old pupils. The concert we attended together was part of the well-known Mozartwoche-Festival at the end of January around Mozart’s birthday. A world-famous orchestra with excellent soloists performed Mozart’s c minor Mass, KV 427 at the Festspielhaus Salzburg.
