The Mozartists, (originally Classical Opera, registered charity number 1063387) was founded in 1997 by conductor and Artistic Director Ian Page to explore and bring to life the music of Mozart and his contemporaries. Widely recognised as one of the UK’s leading period-instrument ensembles, The Mozartists combine musical flair and excellence with a vibrant spirit of discovery, receiving widespread acclaim for their benchmark performances and recordings. Performing with outstanding singers and its highly acclaimed orchestra, the company appears regularly at prestigious venues such as Wigmore Hall, the Barbican, Southbank Centre and Cadogan Hall, as well as on tour in the UK and Europe. In 2015 the company launched its ground-breaking MOZART 250 project – a major 27-year initiative following Mozart’s life, works and influences in chronological ‘real-time’.
The development of young artists is central to the company’s mission, and since 2006 it has provided exceptional young singers with crucial performance opportunities and training through its Associate Artist Scheme, earning a reputation for the strength of its casting and its ability to nurture the next generation of talent. The company also runs four core strands of education workshops in partnership with Ealing Music Service and Harrow Music Service as well as other ad-hoc outreach projects.
