The Maria Anna Mozart Concert Tour

The Maria Anna Mozart Concert Tour is presented in partnership with Sydney Youth Orchestras, featuring The Peter Seymour Orchestra conducted by James Pensini and The Richard Gill Chamber Orchestra conducted by Kate Morgan.

Join us for an immersive visual concert exploring one of history’s most compelling untold stories.

The Maria Anna Mozart performance combines excerpts from the acclaimed documentary Mozart’s Sister, live orchestral performance, and live narration to re-tell Maria Anna Mozart’s life — and examine why the contributions of so many women have been lost to history.

At the heart of the program is the film’s original AACTA Award winning score by acclaimed Australian composer Jessica Wells, brought to life on stage with visuals from filmmaker Madeleine Hetherton-Miau.

This concert is presented as a series of innovative partnerships with Australian orchestras, to bring this musical story to audiences around the country.

SYO ensembles The Peter Seymour Orchestra and The Richard Gill Chamber Orchestra are proud to be included in this special collaboration with Create NSW, TAFE, Learning For Good, and End of Work.

“Mozart’s Sister had such an incredible release and this tour is a beautiful next chapter. Hearing Jess Wells’ score brought to life by orchestras will open Maria Anna Mozart’s story to new audiences, and give people a powerful new way to experience her legacy.”

— Madeleine Hetherton-Miau, Director, Mozart’s Sister

“Composing the score for Mozart’s Sister was a huge privilege! Too often, brilliant contemporary compositions don’t get programmed simply because audiences don’t recognise the names behind them. This tour changes that — while championing diverse composers and new work.”

— Jessica Wells, Composer, Mozart’s Sister
