Vienna Festival
A week of musical highlights from last year's 50th anniversary season of the Vienna Festival, founded in 1951 to help re-establish Vienna as a world capital of culture in the aftermath of the Second
World War. The lively mix of the avantgarde with the conservative has given the festival a distinctive profile: one which reflects the charm of Vienna itself.
