Salzburger Adventsingen
Don't miss a traditional Salzburg Adventsingen concert, especially if
you're a fan of hammered dulcimers. Churches in nearby towns frequently have Adventsingen
of their own; ask the tourist office for advice if your hotel concierge can't
help you get tickets for a
performance at Salzburg's Grosses
Festspielhaus. Silent
