Mozart in minor meets Archive

Since October 2019, Spot On MozART has been dedicated to the visual exploration of listening and thus to a new understanding of the music of Wolfgang Amadé Mozart. At the end of the project in autumn 2023, the Mozarteum University will present a retrospective of all implemented art and research projects in a comprehensive publication.

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.

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.

On 10 March, prospective project leaders as well as project participants and cooperation partners met for the last time for a joint Spot On MozART workshop day at the Erentrudisalm.

In its final year, the Spot On MozART is entirely dedicated to the "Spot On" moment: analogue and digital media, festivals, conferences, fairs - the Spot On moment is concerned with the presentation and positioning of the projects in public space.

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.
