Visiting Mozarts Geburtshaus in Salzburg (the residence of Mozart's Birth). This is an original portrait of Mozart painted by Pietro Antonio Lorenzoni in 1763 when he was 7 years old.
In 2006, Sherry Davis began her authorship of The Chronicles of a Modern-Day Mozartian as an avenue to reimagine the manner in which the life and music of Wolfgang Amadé Mozart is communicated, shared and defined. By enhancing the history through a change in presentation to create accessibility, excitement and relevance in the contemporary, her platform connects audiences to Mozart through engaging narrative, historical insight and playful banter. From scholarship to popular culture, Ms. Davis brings Mozart into perspective via the 18th Century, the latest, and all that resides in between the rich diversity of antiquity and modernity.
Experience in arts administration, musicological study and communication
design have informed Ms. Davis's approach to advocating Mozart’s history and music to
both specialized audiences and the general public. From
managing a theatrical release to scripting a television program, developing an
app for mobile devices and serving on a committee to restore an historic
landmark, she has become an authority on championing the Mozart name. Her work is respected and consulted by music educators,
professionals and enthusiasts all over the world.
As the first individual to pioneer a professional identity as Mozart Preservationist, her ambition is to create awareness of the history’s musical, musicological and cultural significance to cultivate sustainability through appreciation and patronage. She has been internationally recognized for her work as a Mozart Preservationist, most recently in an article in the Badische Zeitung, a newspaper based in Constanze Mozart's native region of Freiburg, Germany.
