The Ensemble Salzburg is a unique ensemble combining both string and wind instruments with piano. Their repertoire

consists of symphonies by Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven - all arranged for flute, violin, cello and piano by Mozarts

student Johann Nepomuk Hummel. These arrangements were used to introduce and promote the symphonies to music

lovers around Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries.

The members of the Ensemble Salzburg have played in orchestras including the Camerata Salzburg and the Mozarteum

Orchestra and were so impressed by Hummels arrangements that they decided to form their own group to perform them.

Their recording of Mozarts Jupiter Symphony was released in 2006 and immediately followed by an extensive tour of

Japan.

The repertoire of the Ensemble Salzburg does not stop with the symphonic repertoire by Mozart, Haydn and

Beethoven. They also frequently perform duos, trios and quartets by classical, romantic and contemporary

composers, creating unlimited programming possibilities. The Ensemble Salzburg recently commissioned the Czech

composer Jiri Gemrot to make an arrangement for them (in the same style that J. N. Hummel did) of the one existing

movement of Beethovens 10th symphony. The first performances will take place in the summer of 2008 in Austria.

Formed in 2005, the Ensemble Salzburg has already performed in several European countries, in Japan and in the

United States. Upcoming tours include Europe, North America, South America and Asia.
