We probably all know that the famous composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a child prodigy: under the careful tutelage of his father Leopold, also a musician, little Wolfgang was already performing at the Imperial Palace of Austria at the age of just a few years, and spent part of his childhood on tour, performing in Italy, France and Germany. He also started composing at a very early age, it came easy to him. During his lifetime he wrote a lot of works, some of which are very popular and will be heard in this concert. Tonight’s programme also includes Symphony Veneziana by the Italian composer Antonio Salieri, Mozart’s contemporary and so-called rival, as well as Leopold Mozart’s Toy Symphony, where, in addition to the musical instruments, there are also children’s toys used.
Composer Giedrius Kuprevičius once said: “Mozart’s music has as many secrets as the number of times you listen to it. Like the fairy tales you read as a child, it opens up other meanings, other layers of thought, other questions and other answers as the years go by.”
It has been scientifically proven that Mozart’s music not only improves memory and learning, stimulates creativity, increases productivity and endurance, but also soothes, relieves pain, and cures many ailments. So, this concert is important not only for children, but also for adults!
