About the Event

The Advent and Christmas concerts high above the roofs of the illuminated city of Salzburg are among the musical highlights of the Advent and Christmas season. The famous Salzburg Advent Ensemble, which plays a combination of strings and string music, will spoil you with musical treasures of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and other popular works of his contemporaries during Advent. The most popular works of classical music as well as the traditional Advent music from the Salzburger Land provide a unique musical evening high above the rooftops of the city.
