Join Harold Rosenbaum to sing Mozart in Vienna in June 2026
Greetings singers! I am thrilled to announce my 30th European conducting appearance, this time to Vienna, performing Mozart’s Requiem and Ave Verum Corpus with full orchestra and a large chorus comprised of singers from throughout America at the Minoritenkirche, Vienna on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. I hope you will read more about it and then sign up!
There is much more to it than “just” the concert; you will see great sights in Vienna and Salzburg on a trip fully organized by MidAmerica Productions, which beautifully and meticulously arranged a trip to Spain and Andorra decades ago for six performances of Mozart’s Requiem. For more details, visit www.midamerica-music.com/international-conductors-repertoire-2026 and then static1.squarespace.com/static/5a53d2e4cd39c318a710718c/t/6840c07b5079d85e618178c7/1749074061205/Vienna+Salzburg+2026+Itinerary.pdf.
Your deposits will be returned to you in full, as described on the website, if not enough people sign up (which is unlikely). Singers from around the USA will be joining this performance with orchestra and soloists.
For the Requiem, a different edition than the one you might be familiar with will be used. About 10% of it has different music than what Mozart’s student Sussmayer hastily added. This edition is by a great Mozart scholar, Robert Levin.
Submit your Mozart concert 2026 interest form here.
You will notice some information in the second link which will need some elucidation.
I will be the featured conductor on June 17 and you will sing under my direction with over 100 singers. However, there might also be other choirs which might wish to perform their own repertoire on that concert under their directors.
Also in that link it discusses sending one combined check….That is only meant for established choirs coming to Vienna. My choir will be a big wonderful conglomerate. Therefore, for those of you signing up individually, I have signed up/created an account with CheddarUp, an online collection company which allows you to pay them directly by credit card. This will entail a standard processing fee of approximately 2.9%.
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to e-mail me at haroldrosenbaum@gmail.com or call me at 914-582-3915.
