The Moritzburg Chamber Music Festival continues to break new ground. The festival announced that this August’s edition will even feature the Dresden premiere of a work by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Only the first movement of Mozart’s Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra in F Major (KV 293) had survived as a fragment. Oboist and composer Gotthard Odermatt has completed it. On August 22, Albrecht Mayer will perform the work at the Kulturpalast in Dresden with the Moritzburg Festival Orchestra. The orchestra’s principal conductor, Josep Caballé Domenech, will be at the podium. This year, the Moritzburg Festival Orchestra brings together 41 young women and men from 18 countries. They were selected for the Festival Academy and will also perform at the Proschwitz Music Picnic on August 16 and at a concert the following day on the castle terrace in Moritzburg. Since its founding in 2006, the Academy has been an integral part of the renowned Moritzburg Festival and, under the artistic direction of violinist Mira Wang, is dedicated to promoting young, highly talented musicians from around the world. Each year, participants are selected from several hundred applicants through an international application process. Thanks to sponsors and private sponsorships, all Academy participants in Moritzburg receive a full scholarship. Copyright 2026, dpa (www.dpa.de).
