The SCL Festival Vienna is Austria’s premier global youth music festival for choirs, bands and orchestras.
Taking place every July in Vienna’s two main classical concert venues, the Golden Hall of the Musikverein and the Konzerthaus, it offers an international environment where a thousand young musicians enjoy intercultural exchanges and build bridges that span continents.
Ensembles may participate either in the Competition or in the Celebration (non-competitive).
Top professionals form the international juries in the Competition and teach our Academy program at the Vienna University of Music.
Enjoy interactive workshops and educational lectures, additional concerts with local audiences, and pre-and post-concert tours in Europe.
Venues for additional / encounter concerts in and around Vienna (2 for each participating ensemble) are held in some of Austria’s most reputable cultural institutions such as: Schönbrunn Palace, St. Charles Church, Austrian National Library, Haus der Musik.
The application deadline is the 15th of February of the festival year.
The opening ceremony is held in St. Stephen’s Cathedral and workshops and seminars are held in the University of Music in Vienna.
