Deutsche Welle Festival: Mozart in Würzburg
The Würzburg Residential Palace has been called "a symphony in marble:" reason enough for a conductor named Hermann Zilcher to establish a Mozart festival there in the 1920s. Still going strong, the Mozart Festival in Würzburg draws musicians with a variety of approaches to the music of the great Amadeus.
