In the 19th and 20th centuries, salons were popular private meeting places where artistic, scientific and political topics were discussed and people enjoyed culinary and musical delicacies. The Arnold Schönberg Salon seeks to pursue 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 heard.
