Franz Schubert in Hohenems

Franz Schubert was never in Hohenems, yet Schubert friends make a pilgrimage to Hohenems and Schwarzenberg in the Austrian Vorarlberg. The reason is the Schubertiade, founded in 1976.

Destination Schubertiade in Hohenems and Schwarzenberg.

Here, in 1976, Hermann Prey and Gerd Nachbauer, inspired by the Schubertiades, had inaugurated a Schubert cycle that has gone on to ever wider circles. These Schubert Festivals are now the most prestigious in the world and attract the best performers. There are Schubert Festivals also during the year, meanwhile the concert calendar stretches throughout the year. The main performance venues are the Markus-Sittikus-hall in Hohenems and (in an idyllic landscape) the Angelika-Kauffmann-hall in Schwarzenberg.
