Concert season 2008 in Bertramka, Prague

Bertramka’s concert season began during spring and will conclude with a concert on October 29, 2008.

Just as in past years, many of Mozart’s pieces are performed here, as well as pieces by his contemporaries and pieces by modern composers. The majority of the concerts take place in Bertramka’s concert hall, though during the summer months selected concerts is held in the picturesque setting of the garden.

Except the concerts, villa Bertramka offers to visitors a permanent Exhibition of W. A. Mozart and the Dušeks. This exhibition brings together the most valuable documents, period news reports, manuscripts, letters, pictures, musical sketches, musical instruments and other mementa of Mozart's time at Bertramka and in Prague. It also contains Mozart's contacts with eminent Czech musicians, including his Bertramka hosts and long-time friends, the Dušeks.
The so-called Mozart rooms, where Mozart and his wife probably lived at Bertramka, have still preserved parts of the original wall decorations and the baroque wooden ceiling, decorated with a floral motif. Among the unique objects on display are a lock of Mozart's hair and two keyboard instruments on which Mozart personally performed in Prague.
In the garden you can find a bust of Mozart and a stone table, at which according to tradition Mozart wrote the concert aria and scene "Bella mia fiamma, addio!" for Josefína Dušková.
