Meetings
Biennial Meetings & Symposia
Since 2001 the Mozart Society of America has organized stimulating biennial conferences that attract an international group of scholars and performers as participants and attendees. These conferences, usually hosted by a university, explore various themes in Mozart studies through papers, panel discussions, library- or museum-sponsored exhibitions, and performances.
The MSA also sponsors occasional symposia in conjunction with performing arts institutions that are designed to provide educational outreach and involve a wider listening public. A weekend symposium at the Santa Fe Opera, offered in conjunction with a new production of Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte in 2006, was the first of what we hope will be many such programs.
