In 1993, the Festival adopted a guest conductor format which enables patrons to enjoy the music of Mozart in different performance styles.The Festival's goals are to maintain a superb orchestra that delivers extraordinary performances, centered on Mozart, which inspire and educate audiences of all ages.
