The story
LvivMozArt in Lviv
LvivMozArt is an annual international classical music festival held in Lviv, Brody, and their surroundings, named for Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart, son of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who lived in Lviv from 1808 to 1838. It combines contemporary academic music with classical repertoire performed by musicians from across Europe, the United States, and South Africa.
LvivMozArt takes its name and premise from an unusual historical footnote: Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart, the youngest son of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, spent thirty years of his life, from 1808 to 1838, living in Lviv, then part of the Austrian Empire's Galicia region.
