Mozart's Sister (2024)

Throughout history, women and marginalised groups have been overlooked in the classical music canon. Maria-Anna Mozart's story exemplifies this. As a youth, she shared equal billing with her famous brother Wolfgang, but was later forced to retire because she was a woman. The film Mozart’s Sister asks what happened to Maria-Anna? And where’s her music now? It also explores why, despite huge shifts in societal norms, less than 10% of classical music performed by contemporary orchestras is from women or diverse composers. Join us for a cinematic experience this October and help change the score!

From multi-awarded director/producer Madeleine Hetherton-Miau and producer Rebecca Barry, Mozart’s Sister is a ‘musical mystery’ story that explores the lost talent of Maria-Anna Mozart, and whether she is the musical force behind some of the classical Mozart masterpieces we know and love.
