They perform a highly-rated programme of light classical music by Mozart and pieces by the likes of Haydn, Beethoven, and Strauss throughout most of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A ticket for the ensemble also includes entry to the Mozarthaus museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\">(Booking service provided by Tiqets.com*, who I am an affiliate of)<\/p><div data-tiqets-widget=\"availability\" data-layout=\"full\" data-product-id=\"1069031\" data-partner=\"visitingvienna\" data-tq-campaign=\"AW_Mozart\"><\/div><script defer src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\">(Nothing on your dates?

Check the Mozarthaus <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozarthausvienna.at\/de\/BESUCH\/Konzerte-Termine\">listings<\/a> for details of forthcoming events. In the past, for example, I&#8217;ve spotted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Concerts on the theme of sonatas for violin and piano (one date featured historical instruments)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A concert and evening complementing the theme of a concurrent special exhibition in the Mozarthaus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>People sometimes ask me about the appropriate dress code for these and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/entertainment\/classical-concert\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5359\">other classical concerts<\/a> held in Vienna, so I put together <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/entertainment\/events\/classical-concert-dress-code\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"75082\">some advice for you<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget the Mozarthaus, along with the incorporated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/footsteps\/mozartwohnung\/\">Mozart apartment<\/a>, is worth a visit in its own right.
