St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Vienna

With its festive orchestration, clear liturgical character, and remarkable inventiveness, the work unfolds with particular intensity in the sacred atmosphere of St. Stephen’s Cathedral. Written in March 1780, shortly before Mozart left Salzburg to settle in Vienna, it marks an important moment in his artistic development.

The program is complemented by Exsultate, Jubilate, one of Mozart’s most famous and beloved sacred works. This brilliant motet calls for a soprano of exceptional virtuosity and combines joyful energy with luminous musical beauty. Together, these two works create a concert evening filled with elegance, power, and spiritual depth.

The performance is given by the Hallein Chamber Orchestra, the Amadeus Choir Salzburg, and renowned soloists under the direction of Moritz Guttmann. This brings musicians from Mozart’s birthplace to the stage of St. Stephen’s Cathedral, offering interpretations shaped by musical sensitivity and expressive richness.
