And lots of stories to share. ”Mozart Travels!” The Best of the MozART Group is a hilarious musical adventure of understated epic proportions. This extraordinary ensemble of four gentlemen has charmed full-houses around the world with their unique virtuosity and ingenious combination of classical music and comedy.

Mozart Travels!” is an irreverent celebration of the quirky regional differences that make the world go round, and give us a good laugh. Grand Prix Winner, Festival of Humour and Satire

All four gentlemen of the MozART group are well educated instrumentalists who graduated from prestigious Academies of Music in Warsaw and Łódz, but they decided to play classical music in a humorous way. The MozART group created a worldwide unique musical cabaret, where the music, not the words are the source of joy and laugh.

The MozART Group hails from Poland where there is a long tradition of story-telling through music and movement, with just a few words (performed here in English). Their theatrical virtuosity enables the quartet to communicate highly detailed plots without resorting to slapstick. Modern day scenarios like techno slip-ups and rock music groupies bring “Mozart” up to date.

Although the MozART Group is one of the most viewed quartets with over 10 million views on the internet, their live stage performance is a special experience of sheer delight and audience involvement. Here for one night only, you will be mad to miss Mozart Madness by the MozART Group!
