Following Mozart: Our Summer Journey Through Central Europe
We’d like to share our pictorial and video adventure through Munich, Salzburg, Prague and Vienna as we relive the beauty, history, and music of these remarkable cities. With a special focus on Mozart and the rich musical heritage that shaped his world, we will show you breathtaking sights, memorable experiences and performance highlights.
So, travel with us through photos, videos, and stories from a vacation steeped in culture, history, and the timeless magic of music!
ADIEU AND DANKE
The choir is headed home after following Mozart’s path through Central Europe. A big shout-out to Eleanor Lamb, Joanna LaMonda, Sara Breaux, Mike Lamb, and our official photographer Frank Kohn for the videos, pictures and descriptions that made this trip come alive for our followers.
Mozart spent the last 10 years of his life in Vienna and his presence was evident all around. This clip of “Deep River” was performed at St. Peter’s Church, an architectural example of a Baroque masterpiece with awe-inspiring beauty and opulence.

Touring Prague
Headed inside for a quick rehearsal (including the dreaded lip trill!) and then the performance.
A stirring line from “The Road Home”… BUT we’re not taking that road home just yet. We’re in Prague in the Czech Republic at the Korunni Chapel (The Chapel of Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren). It is a sought-after performance location due to its great acoustics. Notice the murals – stunningly beautiful.

Enjoy this two-song medley performed at the Dom Zu Salzburg/Salzburg Cathedral in Austria, “Over the Rainbow” and “Send Me Your Tired, Your Poor.”
The Salzburg Cathedral has a fascinating history that you can read about HERE. https://www.salzburg.info/en/sights/churches-cemeteries/salzburger-cathedral
On to Salzburg… it looks like they were expecting us. What a welcome! The beauty almost makes us forget about the 103 degree heat. I guess that just means we’re smokin’ hot
This was a fun impromptu performance for the wait staff at the Hartlwirt restaurant in Austria. Hope this makes up for the whirlwind we brought with our group lol.
THANK YOU
It’s five o’clock somewhere! Cheers! Ooops – meant to say Prost!
