Virtual  Mozart 270 – A Virtual Guidebook of London, Vienna & Salzburg

Celebrating Mozart’s 270th Birthday – a Virtual Guidebook of Mozart’s London (and Salzburg & Vienna)

Join us via Zoom at 7.30pm (1930) London Time Tuesday, Jan. 27

In the footsteps of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

For 15 months Mozart resided in the capital – from April 1764 to July 1765 – famously composing his first symphony here at the age of nine.

We’ll follow him in Soho, Chelsea and Mayfair, looking at London life in the 18th-century along the way. His sister Anna Maria will get her place in the story, too – a talented musician in her own right. And we’ll meet dad Leopold, principal teacher to his children, and discuss his role in the life and career of one of history’s most mythologised composers.

We’ll also take a look at Vienna and Salzburg along the way.

This virtual tour first went out during lockdown as part of Adam’s London Calling series of music history tours.

David adds: There was a very good Q & A session at the end of the “opening night” for the Mozart in London Virtual Tour. We used it for that day’s podcast, by way of demonstrating just how “interactive” the Virtual Tours often are.
