Mozart in historic monuments

Würzburg – city of churches. When he saw the abundance of church towers in Würzburg, Mozart may have been reminded of Salzburg. The cityscape nowadays is shaped by around 60 churches. Every year the Mozartfest selects some of them as its venues. Music and sacral architecture merge into a sublime interplay. The  »Bruckner im Dom« series, for instance, has found a home at St. Kilian’s cathedral.

Additionally, the Exerzitienhaus Himmelspforten functions as an oasis of tranquillity for concerts and the MozartLab.
