27th International Franz Schubert Choir Competition

The events will take place at magnificent places of interest in the City of Music, e.g. the Konzerthaus with the Schubertsaal. Further events will be at the neo-gothic City Hall located on the splendid Ringstra?e and the imposing Votivkirche. Concerts honouring the great Viennese composer will take place in the Minoritenkirche and in the baroque Lichtental parish church "Zu den vierzehn Nothelfern" (The Fourteen Helpers in Time of Need) where Franz Schubert was baptized and later musically active.

Encounter concerts and gala concerts, competition performances as the basic artistic components of the event, and the possibility of experiencing the world’s music capital live provide the attraction of this INTERKULTUR event. Furthermore, Vienna’s musical tradition and cultural highlights are not the only attractions - the city also boasts current exhibitions in its many museums. Oases of cosy atmosphere invite guests to enjoy themselves: at the Heuriger you can enjoy new wine, as well as sweet specialities in the city’s caf?s. Experience the capital of music by yourself!
