Ensemble 1756

on period instruments
DIMITRIS KARAKANTAS, baroque violin
In 2006, Mozart’s 250th birthday was used as an opportunity to found the Orchestra & Ensemble 1756. Playing on original instruments, the intensive work with stylistics and rhetoric of the 18th Century such as a balanced combination of instruments oriented towards historic rules- that is the way how the ensemble makes a special and authentic sound. As an auditor once noticed: “All you are missing is the original Mozart-air.” The “Orchestra 1756” created regular concert series in Salzburg and Vienna. The ongoing rehearsals and concerts at the Viennese St. Charles church especially lead to an exceptional consonance and harmony.
