International Cantus MM Music & Culture Festival, Salzburg, Austria

Dates: 03 July - 07 July 2025 | Salzburg Austria

All over the year numerous top-class cultural and musical events, such as the world-famous Salzburg Festival, take place in front of a historical scenery in the birth town of W.A. Mozart. The fortress Hohensalzburg, the Baroque residence, the Salzburg Cathedral and the historic city center, which became an UNESCO world cultural heritage site in 1997, along with the birth house of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, located in the Getreidegasse no. 7, offer an incomparable setting for a choir trip. Salzburg is well known as it’s the birthplace of the fantastic Mozart, its Baroque architecture and its concerts, theatre performances and operas. Salzburg is a unique combination of scenic Alpine landscape and architectural richness has led to Salzburg’s reputation as one of the world’s most beautiful cities.
