MUSIC IN THE ALPS
CLASSICAL MUSIC MEETS MOUNTAINS
The spirit of the Belle Époque lives on in the Gastein Valley and is reminiscent of fine house concerts, classical music and convivial gatherings that were legendary in the days of the “summer resort”.
The characteristic backdrop of the imposing buildings in contrast to nature alone inspires artistic exploration.
Today, concerts, exhibitions, film events and various art and music festivals – from classical to contemporary – are part of Gastein’s cultural program all year round.
