A masterpiece born of love: Mozart’s monumental Mass in C minor was not commissioned by a prince or a church, but arose from a personal vow to his wife Constanze, for whom he wrote the demanding soprano solos.

Although it remained unfinished, it is now considered—alongside the famous Requiem—one of Mozart’s most significant sacred works. With its striking combination of Baroque sonority and the emotional depth of the Viennese Classical period, it continues to move audiences to this day.

The program is rounded out by Arvo Pärt’s fascinating “Te Deum.” In its apparent simplicity, the work unfolds an extraordinary spiritual power and an overwhelming sonic impact.

Behind the minimalist musical language lies an intense sensuality that demands the utmost precision and dedication from the performers—and captivates the audience.
