Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Presented by Jean-Michel Sanchez
Doctor of History of Art
Musicologist
Born on 27 January 1756 in Salzburg and died on 5 December 1791 in Vienna, Mozart was an Austrian composer of the classical period. He is considered one of the greatest composers in the history of European music. Along with Joseph Haydn and Ludwig van Beethoven, he brought the Viennese classical school to its apogee. A child prodigy and precocious composer, he performed in public from the age of seven throughout Europe, where he captivated audiences with his sister Maria Anna. He died at the age of thirty-five, leaving a considerable body of work.
According to his contemporaries, he was a virtuoso on both piano and violin. He wrote in all the musical genres of his time and excelled in all of them. It is generally acknowledged that he brought the concerto, symphony and sonata to a point of perfection, and that he was one of the greatest masters of opera. His success has never waned, and his name has become synonymous with talent, if not precocious genius.
Indoors in the large conference room of the Centre Culturel.
6.00 pm: Doors open.
6.30pm: Conference begins.
Price: €10 per person - €5 for CCC members
Seats not numbered (free seating).
