A festival where the most talented young musicians from the national and international scene come together.
A festival that takes place in the Angelika Kauffmann Saal – surrounded by the picturesque landscape of the Bregenzerwald – and creates a space for exchange and encounters.
A festival that becomes a holistic experience for its audience; a place where all the senses are addressed; a place where the diversity of the arts is presented and comes together.
Musicians meet visual artists, regional cuisine meets traditional craftsmanship, young meets old, local meets international – in the concert hall, in the chapel or on the open meadow.
Music moves, awakens emotions, stirs and calms at the same time. The :alpenarte is a cross-genre, diverse music festival with an international character.
With us, every concert visit remains unforgettable. Discover music at the highest level in a different way.
We create relationships between artists and audiences. Not only art is our focus, but also the people.
We offer young, highly talented people a stage and support them in their artistic development.
The Angelika Kauffmann Hall in Schwarzenberg in the Bregenzerwald is the heart of our festival. Not only acoustically and architecturally but also culinary our guests are treated.
Matthias Honeck is Indendant of the :alpenarte. He is first principal of the 2nd violins with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra as well as artistic director of the Vienna String Soloists. His sister Anna Maria is responsible for artistic management. She works as a consultant to the director of the Vienna State Opera, where she heads the director’s staff unit.
“Our main aim is to put the spotlight on outstanding regional and international talent. With varied programs and different genres, we create a limitless musical experience – open to all ages and tastes. At the same time, we focus on the concept of integrating visual arts, cuisine, music education and school programs, making :alpenarte a place of encounter.”
