Founded in 1987, the Woodstock Mozart Festival has developed
a reputation for presenting outstanding music & imaginative
programs and is considered one of the most important summer
musical events in the Chicago area. The Festival's three
weekends of "Mozart"...and More!" take place in July and
August and feature orchestral and chamber music concerts
not only in works of Mozart, but also in selections by other
composers. The charm and intimacy of the Woodstock Opera
House create an ambiance for unique listening experiences
much like those available in the small European houses of
Mozart's day.
