Worldwide aid projects
The proceeds of the evening will benefit the worldwide aid projects of Salvatorians Worldwide, which work in numerous countries for disadvantaged and needy people.

Historic venue with a unique Mozart connection
St. Michael's Church, one of the oldest churches in Vienna and a former imperial and royal court parish church. On December 10, 1791, the requiem mass for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart took place here, at which parts of his unfinished Requiem were performed for the first time.
In addition, the special acoustics of the church and the baroque sound of the Sieber organ from 1714, one of the most important historical instruments in Europe, offer the best conditions for an authentic performance of the Mozart Requiem.
