Johannes M. Dyring

Founder & Chair

Mozart's creativity, artistry and playful drive pushing traditional boundaries has inspired and energized me ever since I started listening and appreciating classical music early on in my life. Coming from an international, artistic family of architects, painters and musicians, I was exposed to the creative arts from birth.

Co-Founder & Director of Programming

A daily consumer of music in general, classical music included, I find myself gravitating over and over again to Mozart's vast catalog of works. It amazes me how it always moves and entertains me, no matter the occasion, mood or the number of times I've heard a piece before. I think it's the extraordinary creativity and musical storytelling that does it for me.
