7.Classical Music Concert at the Mirabell

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 180 reviews · 1h 15m · from $35Best value

Spend 75 minutes hearing Mozart, Bach, Chopin, and other composers in Salzburg’s small Mirabell Palace Church. Expect a casual concert for up to 120 people, sometimes featuring pianist Mari Kato, cellist Hellian, Petra, or other soloists. Seating is informal, and the program can change.

“So far as I know, the program of the concert wasn’t announced ahead of time. We saw a cello-piano duo that played a lot of late romantic seemingly French music — something like Fauré — though I can’t be sure because I was too cheap to buy a printed program.— A mother/son team. The pianist (mother) was very capable. The son had a great tone that made up for any tech. shortcomings — he was a strong personality with some eccentric mannerisms—had his part all memorized.”
