Sydney Mozart Society is a not-for-profit group of volunteers formed in 1950 and still dedicated to promoting the music of Mozart, who has given the world a treasure trove of works that still sound fresh and exciting today.  We are committed to providing Sydney audiences with world-class performances by leading chamber musicians at prices that open the joyous experience of chamber music to as many people as possible. Each year the Society presents a season of concerts in a venue well suited to chamber music.  We focus most on Mozart and other great composers from the Classical period but often include works from other periods.
