19:30 Musical Salon  – Concert  
Salons were popular meeting places in the 19th and 20th centuries, where artistic, scientific and political topics were discussed and people enjoyed indulging in culinary and musical delicacies. The Salon Arnold Schönberg seeks to recreate this experience and combines interesting lectures with artistic performances. Arnold Schönberg’s environment in Europe as well as in his exile in the USA/Los Angeles offers space for a wide range of works from the Second Viennese School and other, often opposing, stylistic expressions. In addition to Schönberg, works by Erich Zeisl, Vilma von Webenau, Walter Arlen and Erich Wolfgang Korngold will also be performed.
