An exciting morning for us all on 5 November 2025  in Vienna, as we gathered for our home of Grafenegg’s press conference launching the Grafenegg Festival and Summer Season 2026.

It will be a special, anniversary year. Two decades ago, Grafenegg’s world-class cultural campus began life in a vision shared between artists, music lovers, and the government of Lower Austria: one of “passion, support, and trust”, as Artistic Director Rudolf Buchbinder stated today.
