Festival Weekend Subscriptions
A music-filled weekend: if you want to immerse yourself more deeply in the world of music and experience Grafenegg for more than just one evening, consider choosing the Weekend Subscription. A variety of concert combinations ensures that there is something for every taste and need.
Subscription Piano I
Outstanding piano soloists in a range of programmes lead you into the magical world of the piano: David Fray interprets Beethoven with the Tonkunstler Orchestra, Hélène Grimaud performs Ravel's Piano Concerto, while Rudolf Buchbinder enchants you with his Schumann.
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.
AT HOME IN GRAFENEGG
Here you enjoy home advantage: as resident orchestras, the Tonkunstler and European Union Youth Orchestras are already an integral part of Grafenegg. With this subscription you will hear works ranging from Beethoven, Rachmaninov and Stravinsky to the Second Violin Concerto by Composer in Residence Georg Friedrich Haas and the Fourth Symphony by Schumann.
Subscription Matinees
The early bird gets the worm! Start your day with music at the three Sunday matinees in the Auditorium during the Grafenegg Festival. Outstanding artists such as Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Rudolf Buchbinder are at the centre of these atmospheric morning concerts.
