The concert summer in Gastein

Musical enjoyment at Klassik:Sommer

Music enjoyment in the valley and on the mountain pasture - that's the Klassik:Sommer in Gastein! A varied potpourri of classical and contemporary cultural events awaits you. That's why this music highlight in Salzburger Land should not be missing from your personal calendar of events in 2024.

This year, the Philharmonie Salzburg will once again be presenting top-class concerts. Under the direction of conductor Elisabeth Fuchs, the popular orchestra presents music to dream, dance and rave about - in the Kursaal in Bad Hofgastein.

Viennese salon music, operetta and musical melodies, film music and classical dance music are on the concert program of the Bad Gastein spa orchestra. The ambience is also fitting: the Vienna Hall of the Grand Hotel de l'Europe and the concert pavilion in the Merangarten.

In Gastein, music has long been just as much a part of summer as the fantastic backdrop of the Gastein mountains and the wide variety of activities.

Salzburg Philharmonic

Driven by the innovative power of artistic director Elisabeth Fuchs, a multi-faceted concert program has been created again this year. In Bad Hofgastein, extraordinary locations provide unique musical experiences. Famous symphonies resound at the Berg:Klassik concert at over 2000 meters above sea level, and local musical traditions are honored at the Alm:Klassik series. Whether on the mountain, on the alpine pasture, in the park or in the forest: nature is far more than just a backdrop; it is a source of inspiration.
