Our latest project is to commemorate the site of Mozart's first London address, 9 Cecil Court (better known as Mark Sullivan Antiques which in 1764 was John Couzin's barber's shop; Mozart's family lodged above). Mozart's stay in Cecil Court is well known, but several rolls of microfiche and three antique maps pinned down the exact location! On September 23, 2011, we finally erected a plaque to commemorate Mozart and where he stayed from April 24 until August 6, 1764, and where some scholars believe he composed his first symphonies. The celebration included several performances of Mozart's symphonies and was most festive.
