Highlights 2010
150th birthday of Gustav Mahler
In 2010 Klagenfurt am Wörthersee is a special insider tip for those who love classic music. The 150th birthday of Gustav Mahler will be celebrated duly… As the ideal place for his work he chose Klagenfurt, more precisely Maiernigg, where his Composing house can still be visited. In the summers between 1900 and 1907 he created some of his masterpieces. The “Musikforum Viktring”, the “Jeunesse Kärnten” and the “Wörthersee Classics” honour the artist with a festival of his music.
