The year 2026 commences with the commemoration of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 270th anniversary (1756–1791) on January 27th. Universally esteemed as a prodigious genius and one of history's most exceptional composers, Mozart lived during an era of significant upheaval. He was arguably the first composer to endeavor to be self-employed (Norbert Elias), a concept that was ahead of its time.
Mozart and His Time Conference seeks to illuminate the genius of its namesake, while also fostering a greater comprehension of the era in which he lived: a period of profound political and social transformation that bridged the Modern and Contemporary eras.
