Mozartwoche (Mozart Week) is Salzburg’s premier classical music festival, held each January to celebrate the birthday of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the city of his birth. Organized by the Mozarteum Foundation, the festival gathers world-class orchestras, ensembles, and soloists for performances of Mozart’s most beloved works, alongside rarities and innovative interpretations. Concerts take place in Salzburg’s historic venues, from the elegant Mozarteum concert hall to the baroque Great Festival Hall, creating an atmosphere of musical excellence and cultural reverence dedicated to Austria’s most famous composer.
