Empress Maria Theresa, the only female ruler of the long-lived
Habsburg Empire, while conservative by nature introduced radical reforms
to education, boosted Austria’s economy and promoted inoculation
against smallpox.
Hosted by the Ambassador of Austria this
concert commemorates the tercentenary of her birth with works written in
Vienna in the afterglow of her reign.
Pre-Concert Talk: Dr Martin Eichtinger
Ambassador Dr Martin Eichtinger will give a talk about the infamous
Austrian monarch and her legacy ahead of the concert at 6pm.
