FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS

Salzburg is a city known worldwide for its music. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of Austria’s greatest sons, was born here in 1756, and many great masters of the Classical Era lived and worked here as well.

We invite you to share in celebrating these rich musical and cultural traditions by bringing your choir or orchestra to Salzburg for the International Cantus Music and Culture Festival Salzburg. Musicians from around the world come to Salzburg each July to perform together and individually in the festival's prestigious venues.

Among the highlights of the festival are the ecumenical celebration in Salzburg Cathedral and the performance of "Song of Peace," shared by all festival choirs in the Mozarteum.

“The opportunity to perform in such beautiful and historical venues in Austria was such an emotionally moving experience. To also visit the historical venues from the many conductors whose music we study and perform is such a joyful experience."
