Maria Anna Mozart Concert Tour brings cinematic experience to audiences across Australia

The Maria Anna Mozart Concert Tour shines a spotlight on Maria Anna (“Nannerl”) Mozart; a remarkable musician whose story has long been overshadowed by her brother, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Following the AACTA Award-winning documentary Mozart’s Sister (supported by Nelson Meers Foundation), the tour invites orchestras and ensembles around Australia to bring the film’s powerful original score to life in concert, composed by acclaimed Australian composer Jessica Wells with visuals from Madeleine Hetherton-Miau.

An immersive concert experience

Presented as an immersive visual concert, the performance combines excerpts from Mozart’s Sister, live orchestral performance, and live narration to re-tell Maria Anna Mozart’s remarkable life.

The program examines how the music from so many women has been lost to history and invites audiences to reflect on whose stories are remembered, performed, and celebrated on stages today.

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 (who doesn’t love Mozart?), while championing diverse composers and new work.”
Jess Wells, Composer, Mozart’s Sister
