Vienna
The City of Music

Vienna has long been celebrated as the “City of Music,” a place where the great masters once lived and created. Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Beethoven, Bruckner, and Mahler shaped its unique musical landscape, while later visionaries such as Schoenberg, Webern, and Berg carried its legacy into the modern era. This unparalleled history continues to inspire artists today, making Vienna an enduring home and meeting place for classical music.
