Augustusburg Music Summer: With Mozart into the night

When the sun goes down, music and light awaken under the rustling lime trees - surrounded by the illuminated trees and the colourfully tinted church façade.

entrance 10€ (Reduced 8€)

The brothers Markus & Pascal Kaufmann will perform works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart that have been given a new sound for two grand pianos. For example, the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg added a second piano to Mozart's little C major sonata. However, this was not to give the music more power and accents, but to enhance Mozart's ingenuity with delicate accompaniment figures and additional melodies. Mozart in Norwegian - an extremely rare discovery!
