 Coming to Vienna.
The Workshop will be held in the Austrian capital, Vienna, one of the most popular destinations in Europe. Today, Vienna combines modern life style with the spirit of the past. Once the centre of the large Habsburg empire, Vienna has largely preserved its historic architecture. As a centre of musical life, the city is famous for its Opera House and Festivals. But Vienna is also an important European hub that houses several international organisations and it has become even more important since the opening of the East. For more details, see the Touristic Info below.
