Grafenegg - classical music concerts

The Grafenegg Festival is one of the most important orchestral festivals in Europe. Nature and architecture merge into a total work of art.

Top-class classical music concerts in a dreamlike ambience: Grafenegg, located between Vienna and the Wachau, has developed into an internationally renowned festival location within just a few years and inspires people from all over the world every year anew with its unique atmosphere. In the middle of the enchanting castle park, the impressive open-air stage Wolkenturm was erected, which is considered one of the acoustically best open-air stages in the world. In addition, Grafenegg offers the best wines and dishes from the region, such as the Grüner Veltliner, at various locations such as the new break bar "Wolke 7" or the wine lounge.

Clam Castle

Rock and other

For more than 30 years now, unique concerts have been held annually in summer at Clam Castle in Upper Austria. As one of the most extraordinary and spectacular concert and event locations in Austria, the CLAM LIVE series of events has made a name for itself at home and abroad.

Numerous national and international musicians and artists have already been guests on the historic area below the medieval fortress. Two different stages are available for concerts. One stage is located in the garden of the castle brewery, a second stage on the meadow of the Meierhof below the castle. On the Meierhof meadow, up to 9,000 concertgoers can experience the performances of the stars in an incomparable atmosphere. Clam Castle is not only a unique backdrop for legendary open-air concerts, the medieval fortress, which is one of the most beautiful castles in Austria, is also still the residence of a count's family.

Musikfestival Steyr between July 20 and August 6, 2023

Falco meets Queen

In the coming summer, the moat will be rocked. For all fans of the music of the 80s, there is a reunion with two exceptional artists of this decade: Freddie Mercury and Falco. We are looking forward to the unique show "Falco meets Queen". On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Steyrdorf Gallery, we are showing exceptional artists from the genre of painting in the exhibition rooms of the Schlossgalerie. On four balmy summer evenings, the moat becomes an open-air cinema hall.

Innsbruck Festival of Early Music

The Innsbruck Festival of Early Music has grown on the basis of a rich musical history of the Alpine city. In the Renaissance and Baroque periods, masters such as Paul Hofhaimer, Heinrich Isaac and Pietro Antonio Cesti stayed in Innsbruck as court musicians.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, the Tyrolean sovereigns maintained exquisitely staffed court orchestras with outstanding musicians from Europe. During the reign (1646–1662) of Archduke Ferdinand Charles, magnificent opera performances took place in the newly built, first free-standing theatre in the German-speaking world.

Bregenz Festival

One year after the end of the Second World War, the first Bregenz Festival Week took place on two gravel barges - one for the stage set-ups of Mozart's early work Bastien et Bastienne, the other for the orchestra. In a city that didn't even have a theatre at the time, the idea of holding a festival seemed ludicrous, but the stopgap solution of choosing the most beautiful part of the city - Lake Constance - as the stage proved to be a resounding success.

From the very beginning, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra has formed the Festival Orchestra and has played a major role in the development and success of the festival to this day.

The Schubertiade - A festival for Franz Schubert

Giving him the place he deserves alongside Mozart and Beethoven was the idea and objective of the first Schubertiade, which was launched in 1976 by Hermann Prey in Hohenems. The city in Vorarlberg, Austria, quickly became one of the best-known festival venues and a popular meeting place for an international audience that seeks encounters with outstanding artists in a manageable setting and finds clear definitions instead of an arbitrarily interchangeable festival program: the uncompromising commitment to Franz Schubert.

And there are many Summer Festivals within Vienna, Linz, Graz, Salzburg, and other cities around Austria.
