This January, Conductor Emerita Gisèle Ben-Dor leads Pro Arte through an adventure of music and storytelling that will thrill your whole family.

Musik aus Salzburg und Wien, dem Geburtsort und der Wahlheimat von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Er selbst ist mit einer frühen Sinfonie, die er als 15-Jähriger komponierte, sowie einem seiner virtuosen Hornkonzerte aus den Wiener Jahren vertreten. Dass sein Vater Leopold nicht nur ein engagierter Prädagoge, sondern auch ein veritabler Komponist war, stellt sein Konzert für zwei Hörner und Streicher unter Beweis. Parallel zu den Mozarts lebte und arbeitete Johann Michael Haydn in Salzburg, der jüngere Bruder von Joseph Haydn. Als Kirchenmusiker gewann er Renommee, darüber hinaus aber auch als Komponist von Sinfonien und anderer Instrumentalmusik. Einer der Wegbereiter der klassischen Sinfonie wiederum ist Georg Christoph Wagenseil, der in der Kaiserstadt Wien um die Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts zu einem der führenden Musiker aufstieg und die nachfolgende Komponistengeneration maßgeblich inspirierte.
