Musical Advent Calendar Brings Sound Diversity to Vienna

The program focuses primarily on artists living in Vienna:
From female singer-songwriters, indie-pop, and queer-migrant Viennese songs to musical readings, improvisation, workshops, and programs for children, culminating in the finale on December 24 in a charitable institution – the Musical Advent Calendar opens doors in all directions.

Event-Free Days for New Festival Podcast

The newly established podcast "Festival Buero" provides deeper insights into the work surrounding the festivals, with December focusing on the Musical Advent Calendar. Three episodes with exciting guests like Alexander Födinger (AF90) and Verena Giesinger (Schmusechor) in conversation with Lisa Reimitz are perfect for cozy evenings on the event-free days.

Motto at the Musical Advent Calendar in Vienna

The rather unknown Christmas Truce of 1914 began with the phrase: "We no shoot – you no shoot." A single soldier stood up – and thus initiated a movement.

From opposition came togetherness, even if only for a few days. The Musical Advent Calendar 2025 picks up on this reaction – as a symbol of the courage to create connections. The thematically accompanying exhibition by artist Kalle Laar (MQ, 1070) serves as a reminder: Culture can empower us not to face the world with indifference.
