When warm summer evenings meet classical music, a truly special atmosphere is created in the Gastein Valley. Classical:Summer combines impressive concert moments with extraordinary venues amid the mountains. Between alpine pastures, forests, the spa park and peaks, music here is not only heard, but experienced intensely. Year after year, Bad Hofgastein transforms into a place full of sound, culture and summery lightness. The Philharmonie Salzburg brings classical music to places that lend the concerts a special atmosphere – from Mountain:Classical at over 2,000 metres above sea level to atmospheric concerts in the spa park or in the middle of the forest.
It is precisely this combination of nature and culture that makes Classical:Summer in the Salzburg region so special. Music does not resound only in grand concert halls, but under the open sky, nestled in the tranquillity of the mountains. The backdrop of the Gastein Valley lends the concerts a special intensity – calm, emotional and inspiring.
The programme ranges from classical orchestral concerts and chamber music to modern interpretations and family concerts. Alpine Pasture:Classical, Forest:Classical or Park:Classical repeatedly create new perspectives on music and nature. Over 60 concerts provide cultural highlights throughout the summer in the Gastein Valley.
Classical:Summer shows just how special culture can feel in the mountains. Between nature, music and summery lightness, moments are created that resonate for a long time. Open-air concerts, extraordinary venues and the impressive backdrop of the Gastein mountains make the cultural summer in Bad Hofgastein a special experience in the Salzburg region.
