World-renowned choreographer Andreas Heise brings the songs and piano music of Mozart to life in a stunning fusion of movement, words and music.

Eminent soprano Juliane Banse trained as a dancer before embarking on her singing career, making her uniquely able to interact with and complement the dancer István Simon, who has been a Principal Dancer in Budapest, Dresden and Dortmund. They are joined by Alexander Krichel, one of today's leading pianists and a former ECHO Klassik winner. Costumes are designed by the luxury brand UY Studio. The programme includes some of Mozart's best-loved songs and a complete performance of his Sonata in F, K332. This is a welcome return to Oxford International Song Festival for this artistic team whose performance of Schubert's Winterreise in 2023 was an unforgettable occasion.
