WIEN-LEMBERG UND ZURÜCK (RETURN TICKET FROM VIENNA TO LVIV)

“Lviv” was once a day’s train journey from Vienna. As a multicultural hub, the Galician capital served as a significant cultural centre, particularly in the 19th century. Franz Xaver Mozart established the first Galician music society, the “Cäcilien-Verein,” while violinist Ignaz Schuppanzigh initiated the first subscription concerts in Lviv. Renowned artists and composers graced the concert halls, enriching the cultural landscape. The multimedia concert project “Wien-Lemberg und zurück” (Return Ticket From Vienna To Lviv) showcases the enduring cultural connections between the former crown territory of Galicia and Vienna.
