About Mozartwoche Seeon

In the former Benedictine monastery Seeon in Chiemgau, which Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart visited several times between 1767 and 1780, the Mozartwoche celebrates the great composer every year. In the historic monastery atmosphere, a concert series unfolds, connecting Mozart in surprising arrangements with other composers and styles – from chamber music to Zulu music to rock. This includes cultural excursions and a varied supporting program around the idyllic monastery grounds on Klostersee.

Mozart and Kloster Seeon

The former Benedictine monastery Seeon is picturesquely located on a peninsula in the Klostersee lake in Chiemgau. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart stayed here several times between 1767 and 1780 and donated two offertories to the convent. The Mozartwoche, which has taken place every spring since the 1990s and has become a well-established event in the Upper Bavarian classical music calendar, builds on these visits.

A Concert Series with Surprises

The festival is deliberately not a pure Mozart series: several concerts take place in the historic festival hall of the monastery, bringing together Mozart's work in surprising arrangements with other composers and genres. The spectrum ranges from chamber music on historical instruments, the connection between Mozart and folk music, to extraordinary encounters such as Zulu Music meets Mozart or Classical meets Rock.

More Than Concerts

The Mozartwoche regularly includes guided cultural excursions – for example, to Munich's Residenz and Mozart sites in the city – as well as moderated programs with anecdotes from music history. The special appeal lies in the interplay of top-class music and the unique, almost intimate atmosphere of the monastery complex. The organizer is the Kultur- und Bildungszentrum Kloster Seeon of the Bezirk Oberbayern.
