Mozart-Requiem in der Wiener Michaelerkirche - Wien - 2026

Michaelerkirche, Wien

The Salvatorianer Weltweit association invites you to an extraordinary benefit concert at St. Michael’s Church in Vienna on November 14, 2026. The program features Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Requiem in D minor, K. 626. Experiencing Mozart’s Requiem at St. Michael’s Church means hearing music history at its original venue. It was here in 1791 that the funeral Mass for Mozart took place, during which parts of his Requiem were performed for the first time.

Global Aid Projects
Proceeds from the evening will benefit the global aid projects of Salvatorianer Weltweit, which works in numerous countries to support disadvantaged and suffering people.

Historic Venue with a Unique Connection to Mozart
St. Michael’s Church, one of Vienna’s oldest churches and the former imperial and royal court parish church, is a prominent cultural monument and historic site associated with Mozart’s Requiem: On December 10, 1791, the funeral Mass for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart took place here, during which parts of his unfinished Requiem were performed for the first time.
In addition, the church’s exceptional acoustics and the Baroque sound of the Sieber organ from 1714—one of Europe’s most significant historical instruments—provide the ideal conditions for an authentic performance of Mozart’s Requiem.

Performers
The St. Michael Soloists, Choir, and Orchestra perform under the direction of Manuel Schuen, Director of Church Music at St. Michael’s Church and Professor of Choral Conducting at the Institute for Organ, Organ Research, and Church Music at the mdw—University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
