Musical direction: Conducting students of the class Ion Marin & Alexander Drčar.

For many years, the annual performance of the Mozarteum University Symphony Orchestra as part of the Mozart Week has been one of the highlights of the orchestra in each academic year. With the beginning of the year 2023, a new orchestra has now been established at the University of Arts with the Academy Orchestra: Motivated and qualified instrumental students with diverse orchestral experience, who qualified specifically for the individual positions in a selection process, form the foundation of this ensemble.

The maxim 'Mozart pur' of the artistic director of the Mozartwoche, Rollando Villazon, also applies to the program sequence of this concert. At the beginning is Mozart's cassation KV 63 "Final Musik". The musical genre of cassation is most closely related to the serenade or divertimento. At the end of the 18th century, cassations consisted of loosely arranged movements, mostly intended for outdoor performances. Mozart composed the contrasting 7 small movements in 1769. Light music in the best sense! The composer created the 25th Symphony in G minor, KV 183 4 years later in his hometown. At this time, the archbishop's concertmaster wrote his first symphonic work in a minor key here. The emerging Sturm-und-Drang period is audible in the music through the use of exciting stylistic devices. For example, Mozart uses numerous syncopations, dissonances, tremolo and unison passages that invariably promote more pronounced dynamics and rhythms. In any case, the grandiose effect of this four-movement work is undisputed.
