Establishing a similarity between the harmonic sequences in W. A. Mozart's Phantasia in C minor (KV 475) and the color chords of Salzburg was the starting point and program of the artistic-scientific cooperation project that brought together selected students of the University Mozarteum Salzburg and young people as well as adults from the class "Sound and Color" of the Landesmusikschule Bad Ischl.

Phantasia in C minor, KV 475

Musical interpretation
Tzu-Yu Yang (fortepiano)

Based on the thesis that analogy-building in the visualization of impressions evoked by the encounter with Mozart's music can deepen and refine perception, a short film on Mozart's Phantasia will be created. The film will be based on artistically edited photos taken by the students, who were additionally inspired by Georg Trakl's color-poetic view of Salzburg and Marina Abramovi ć s transcending homage to Mozart with a reference to the sky.

    Shift KV594 

    W. A. Mozart's composition Adagio in F minor (KV 594) for an organ work in a clock becomes a synesthetic experience in the project Shift, materially visible, audible and tangible. The result was presented in a textile-acoustic concert on July 18.

    find me! 

    Mozart had to deal with the problem of being an ordinary person and at the same time an extremely sensitive musician. Was it difficult to accept himself? Did he frighten himself when he realised his extraordinary talent? Was his humour helpful in accepting himself? In the search for answers to these questions, many themes can be discerned that can be symbolic and meaningful for any generation and at any time.

    All’Aria 

    In 1770 Mozart lived in Bologna and passed the examination to become a member of the Accademia Filarmonica di Bologna. ALL'ARIA traces his places of residence and shows Bologna as an ancient and modern city - historical places in a modern time. Taken out of the usual setting, the traditional concert halls and the classical theater, we meet Mozart's music outside, in the street, under the arcades and all'aria - in the air.
