What a Marvellous Mozartfest!
The 20th anniversary Bath Mozartfest has been a resounding success on every level: earning much critical acclaim for Amelia Freedman’s outstanding programming; thrilling audiences who packed every venue; and reporting record-breaking ticket sales, well in excess of 90% of capacity.
But don’t take our word for it, here are just a few comments from national and local critics:
Bath Mozart …was celebrating 20 years of conspicuously classy programming.
{Bath Mozartfest is} an event that has the golden touch.
The Sixteen choir and orchestra … was the most purely enjoyable concert I’ve heard in months.
Michael White, The Daily Telegraph
Bath’s annual treat for chamber music fans opened last weekend with a success story.

World class musicians.

A typically pukka line-up from this celebratory fest.

We were delighted that BBC Radio 3 recorded four Bath Mozartfest concerts for future broadcast, which will be transmitted at lunchtimes during week commencing 23 January 2012
The 2012 Bath Mozartfest will take place from Friday 9th to Saturday 17th November
Meantime, we hope to see many of our loyal audience members at our new Bath Bachfest, A Celebration of J S Bach, on Friday 24th and Saturday 25th February 2012. Please visit www.bathbachfest.org.uk for full details.
