The digital 2021 Mozart Week combines everything the world’s greatest Mozart festival has stood for since 1956: large-scale orchestral concerts, select chamber-music gems and special concert formats with top Mozart performers who illuminate the great composer’s manifold cosmos.

BFMI is a proud contributor of this successful live streaming (January 27-31). Subsequently, the ten concerts were distributed via video-on-demand on myfidelio.at (Austria, Germany and Switzerland); internationally, selected concerts were shown on Mezzo TV and Medici TV.
