Austrian Music Festival Calendar austriaforvisitors.com
Here's a description of this year's major musical events in the land of Mozart and Mahler, courtesy of the Austrian National Tourist Office.

Association "Friends of Viennese Music"
If you love "Mei' Muatterl War a Wienerin" and "Klingendes Wien" as much as my husband does, it's time to join the Gesellschaft Freunde der Wiener Musik.

The Salzburg Festival
Besides the main festival in late July and August, Salzburg has a Whitsun Baroque Festival in early June. You can check programs and order tickets at this site.

Vienna Mozart Concerts
Hear Mozart played by musicians in period costume.

Vienna One
Do you favor moshing over Mozart? Manfred Koller can point you to the right clubs.

Vienna Festival Weeks
Theatre, dance, and musical theatre are staged during the Festwochen from early May to late June.

Wiener Sängerknaben
The Vienna Choir Boys have performed for 500 years, yet they look even younger than Dick Clark.

Wiener Symphoniker
The Vienna Symphony's site has a concert schedule, a discography, a list of musicians, and more.

Yodeling

Yodeling austriaforvisitors.com
Yodeling is to Austria and Switzerland what the Beach Boys are to Southern California, or what hog calling is to the Ozarks. Listen to "the language of the mountains" (or even learn how to yodel) before you leave home.
