MIDSUMMER MOZARTIADE
A civic-minded producer
AMADEUS & CO
Amadeus & Co is a non-profit association that organizes musical events designed to showcase flagship heritage sites in Brussels. Our programs feature masterpieces by Mozart and are specifically developed with the particular heritage site in mind. We promote the career development of exceptionally talented young artists by offering them the opportunity to perform their first leading roles in a caring and supportive professional setting. We pool resources and talents by collaborating with established artistic and cultural partners, such as a theatre, a chamber orchestra, a wind, brass or vocal ensemble, a musicologist, an art historian, a publishing house, a bookshop. We believe that Culture is a common good which should be made accessible to all those who wish to partake of it. Therefore, we invite the public to a range of events designed to raise cultural awareness and to solicit the desire to share in the experience. We are civc-minded and strive to facilitate access to our events for a diverse and enthusastic audience. To implement our project, we choose to collaborate with partners who share our priorities and values.
OUR CENTRAL PRIORITIES
- Share our passion for Mozart’s masterworks with our fellow citizens, by proposing above all fully-staged opera productions that are attactive and accessible for all types of audiences, confirmed fans or curious newcomers.
- Showcase flagship heritage sites in Brussels, paricularly those that are contemporary with Mozart, by offering captivating and enriching cultural activities each summer as well as engaging and informative communication year round.
- Promote outstanding emerging talent – promising young artists who deserve our support and the attention of the public – by providing them the opportunity to hone their performing skills under top-level professional supervision and to appear on a new summer stage in Brussels.
- Convene a diverse and enthusiastic audience, by organising attractive and accessible musical events; discovery days for youngsters (Kids@Mozartiade) and cultural conferences for the young at heart; as well as concrete civic-minded gestures such as a free or reduced-price ticket programme for disadvantaged persons and free concerts for all types of audiences (Amadeus per tutti).
