The concerts

The Mozarthaus is, as the name suggests, the house where Mozart lived for three years during his long stay in Vienna.
The idea of listening to classical music in a building that once echoed to the sound of Mozart’s piano or violin feels particularly charming.
But we can take the charm up a level.
Imagine listening today to the pieces that Mozart actually composed in that exact location or elsewhere in Vienna so long ago.
A small venue tucked away inside the Mozarthaus (now a museum) makes just such a unique experience possible.
The Wiener Ensemble
One regular is the Wiener Ensemble. 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.
A ticket for the ensemble also includes entry to the Mozarthaus museum.

These concerts are, of course, not the only ones to grace the venue.
Seasonal recitals
Another favourite with visitors is the Summer Concert piano recitals by SoRyang, who returns in 2026.
In 2025, for example, the acclaimed concert pianist performed a series of pieces under the title MOZART’S HERITAGE: all works composed by Mozart while a resident of Vienna:
- Rondo in D major from 1786
- Fantasia in C minor from 1785
- Piano Sonata No. 14 from 1784
- Twelve Variations on Ah vous dirai-je, Maman from 1781/1782
I’ve also seen SoRyang offer a winter programme, so look out for that too.
Visitor tips
Apart from the regulars mentioned above, the Mozarthaus also has occasional other concerts involving a varied programme of pieces, performers, and composers. Check the Mozarthaus listings for details of forthcoming events. In the past, for example, I’ve spotted:
- Concerts on the theme of sonatas for violin and piano (one date featured historical instruments)
- A concert and evening complementing the theme of a concurrent special exhibition in the Mozarthaus
People sometimes ask me about the appropriate dress code for these and other classical concerts held in Vienna, so I put together some advice for you.
Don’t forget the Mozarthaus, along with the incorporated Mozart apartment, is worth a visit in its own right. The displays take you on a musical and biographical journey through Mozart’s time in Vienna.
How to get to the venue
The concerts take place in the very centre of town…just a few rolls of a chocolate marzipan Mozart ball from Stephansdom cathedral. A quick walk, for example, from Stephansplatz subway station (on the U1 and U3 lines) gets you there.
