Ensemble 1756
Ensemble 1756 was founded in 2006. It has devoted itself to the interpretation of 18th and 19th century music on historical instruments and has developed a unique, archaic sound. Relentless practice and many concerts in St. Carl’s church in Vienna have brought the orchestra critical acclaim. It also has a long- standing cooperation with the Heinrich Biber choir. Both groups perform in Salzburg as well as Vienna and Munich. At the 2013/14 they performed Bach’s Christmas Oratorio and Händel’s Messiah. However the source of inspiration for the orchestra’s musical activity remains Mozart. The name of the orchestra, “1756” is testament to that as this is the birth-year of Mozart, a year that marked the beginning of a unique and wonderful period in the history of music.
