This year’s festival is dedicated to “Mahler and Bruckner”, the similarities and differences in their approaches to music and the complex biographical details that characterized their interactions during their lifetimes. Highlights include a choral concert of original works and arrangements of Bruckner, Mahler, and Schoenberg performed by chorus sine nominee with organ improvisations by Martin Haselböck, Mahler’s four-hand piano arrangement of Bruckner’s Third Symphony, as well as Mahler’s Second Symphony with Elisabeth Fuchs conducting the Philharmonic Salzburg.
