Liszt Festival

In the 1800s, composer Franz Liszt flipped the music world on its head. His avant-garde approach to piano music and avant-garde style of musical composition enthralled listeners all over the world. That is why, every June and October, the little community of Raiding in the Burgenland hosts the Liszt Festival to honor its hometown hero.

Visitors may enjoy a variety of gripping concerts at the town's award-winning Liszt Center Raiding during the festival (Lisztzentrum Raiding). If visitors wish to learn more about the great pianist, conductor, composer, and music teacher, they may go to his birthplace, which is now a museum close to the performance venue.

Time: June and October.
