Mozart and Forgotten Female Composers at the Leopold Mozart House

An extraordinary song evening on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, leads into the sound world of Wolfgang Amadé Mozart and those female composers who were recognized artists during his lifetime. At the Leopold Mozart House in Augsburg, Annika Rioux and Stephanie Knauer combine well-known Mozart songs and arias with musical rediscoveries.

A sonorous journey through the Viennese classical period

Soprano Annika Rioux, together with pianist Stephanie Knauer, presents a program that places Mozart in a lively dialogue with his contemporaries. The focus is on works by composers whom Mozart personally knew, appreciated, and promoted. This creates a concert evening that balances familiar classical sound language with surprising musical perspectives.

Voice and piano in direct dialogue

The song evening thrives on the close synchronization between singing and piano. Rioux's soprano meets Knauer's nuanced piano direction at the instrument: delicate accompaniment figures, expressive lines, and finely graded dynamics make the poetic atmosphere of the songs immediately tangible. The intimate acoustics of the Leopold Mozart House allows for nuances, breath, and musical undertones.

Bringing female composers out of the shadows

The concert centers on female artists whose creative contributions have long received less attention than those of their male colleagues. Alternating with Mozart's music, their works unfold a unique sound color and demonstrate how diverse the musical life of the Viennese classical period was. For the audience, it becomes an insightful journey through song art, aria, and historical stage performance.

An evening for classical music lovers and explorers

Those who wish to hear Mozart anew and simultaneously get to know musical names outside the established canon will find a special experience in this concert. The combination of soprano, piano, historical context, and rarely presented works melds musical expertise with an immediate live atmosphere.

The audience can expect a concentrated, sonorous concert evening with strong voices, virtuosic piano accompaniment, and an inspiring encounter with Mozart and the female composers of his time. Experience Daphne, Your Rose Cheeks live at the Leopold Mozart House in Augsburg.
