Hear Mozart, Vivaldi, Bach, and more in Vienna’s beautiful St. Peter’s Church, with practical tips on seats, timing, warmth, and value.

“While the setting for this concert was just stunning, I did not enjoy the experience overall. I felt a lot of the chosen musical pieces were for purists only, and would not appeal to a general audience with a limited knowledge of classical music. The musicians were very skilful and I had no issue whatsoever with the quality of the performance. However, I was left very much underwhelmed and could not, unfortunately, recommend this event to someone looking for an enjoyable night out and hoping to hear some light and wrll-known classical music pieces.....and the Church was freezing on the night we attended this event.”
