THE WORLD AS GUEST
For over fifteen years, the finest orchestras of the world have performed in the unique atmosphere of Grafenegg.

VIOLIN MAGIC
To play first violin, you need that certain something - that's as true in life as it is on stage. In this subscription series you'll be won over by three outstanding virtuosos who each radiate a strong personal expression: Bomsori Kim in Nielsen's melodious violin concerto, and Patricia Kopatchinskaja in a matinee with Il Giardino Armonico. Finally, in the third concert, the magic of the violin will unfold in Georg Friedrich Haas's Second Violin Concerto, performed by its dedicatee, Miranda Cuckson.
