"When the angels play for God, they play Bach. But when they play for themselves, they play Mozart." Karl Barth

Includes two days of rehearsals and lessons, an in-depth session and two concerts in which students and professors are perform together on stage.

"Mozart's music 'invites' in a rather singular way. At times, it is like being given the keys to a secret garden, where you are invited to 'find' treasures. Whoever ventures into this garden finds objects which are specific to the person themselves.

When we immerse ourselves in his music, revealed is a world of theatre: a visual world. Colours shift, characters appear, shapes form. A lanterna magica." - Chiyan Wong

Student Positions: Piano (2), Violin (2), Viola, Cello and Double Bass
