The 6th Johannesburg International Mozart Festival (JIMF) will take place from 25 January to 9 February 2014, with a one-off post-Festival Valentine’s concert on 14 February. The 2014 Festival will explore love’s delights and dilemmas, with the theme “Un’ aura amorosa”.
After the success of last year’s pre-concerts, which completely sold out in just two days, there will be another two pre-festival concerts – on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 January – which take the form of a Viennese New Year’s Concert, with music and dance.
The Festival will begin in earnest on Monday 27 January, in commemoration of the birthdate of composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and will take place at various venues in Johannesburg and – this year for the first time – Pretoria. This year’s programme will explore musical interpretations of “Un’ aura amorosa – love’s delights and dilemmas” – a homage to the tensions expressed in Mozart’s opera Cosi fan Tutte.
The JIMF programme will again include various symphony concerts, recitals and workshops. The programme for the 6th Johannesburg International Mozart Festival (JIMF) will be released in December. Tickets (from R140 to R280) will be available from Computicket, with special prices for senior citizens and students on selected concerts. Please contact (011) 447 9264 or visit www.join-mozart-festival.org for more information, and “like” the Johannesburg International Mozart Festival page on Facebook for regular updates on Festival happenings.
