24 Days of Music for All of Vienna: Pop-up Advent Calendar Starts

The musical Advent calendar invites you to a unique concert series across the Viennese districts - from the 1st to the 23rd district. From December 1st to 24th, musical "doors" open daily at extraordinary locations - from markets to shopping centers, the Vienna Central Cemetery, or on an ice rink. Young musicians and ensembles from the mdw create short pop-up concerts that are free and accessible to all Viennese residents and guests from around the world.

24 Days of Music, 24 Encounters: Pop-up Advent Calendar in Vienna

"The pop-up Advent calendar brings music to where people are - in their districts, in everyday life, in public spaces," emphasizes Ulrike Sych, Rector of the mdw. "This creates a special Advent season that connects, surprises, and inspires."

Cultural Councillor Veronica Kaup-Hasler also underscores the project's concept: "This initiative shows how lively and diverse the Viennese music scene is. It opens cultural spaces for everyone and makes art immediately tangible."

The daily mini-concerts last about 20 to 30 minutes, and admission is free. An overview of all dates and locations is available online at www.mdw.ac.at/advent.

Festive Opening at the Vienna City Hall

With a festive concert at the Vienna City Hall, the mdw - University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, together with the City of Vienna, opens the pop-up Advent calendar. The mdw Saxophone Orchestra, the Motus Quartet, a choir from the Anton Bruckner Institute, and the mdw Percussion Ensemble are the focus of this evening and provide a first impression of how diverse and surprising the upcoming 24 days of the pop-up Advent calendar will be. Admission is free, registration required at: https://ticket.wien.gv.at/MDS/xmas24/
