St. Bavokerk in Haarlem
Mozart at the Bavokerk
The child prodigy journey with 6-year-old Amadeus and 11-year-old Nannerl took the Mozarts throughout Western Europe, traveling via The Hague and Amsterdam on the way back. When the Mozarts arrived in Amsterdam they had already been on their great Western European tour for over 2 years and only wanted to go home. Then they received an invitation from Princess Caroline of Nassau and the Mozart family spent more than half a year in the Netherlands. The trip became very dramatic because first Nannerl and then Mozart fell ill with typhoid fever in The Hague. Nannerl already received the last rites, but was saved by the court physician, who only made the correct diagnosis. They gave concerts in various cities and Mozart dedicated six piano sonatas to Caroline.
In Haarlem, the Mozart family visited the church of St. Bavokerk at the Grote Market and Wolfgang played on the organ, which is one of the best in Europe.
Handel at the Bavokerk
