The concert on August 1st, 2026 will be held at the Kollegienkirche in Salzburg. This church, formally St. Peter’s Archabbey and Collegiate Church, possesses a rich history dating back to its founding in 696 AD by St. Rupert. While initially Romanesque, it underwent significant Baroque remodeling in the 17th and 18th centuries, resulting in its present opulent appearance. The Kollegienkirche is renowned for its stunning interior featuring frescoes, stucco work, and a prominent organ.

Historically, the Kollegienkirche served as the abbey church for the Benedictine monks of St. Peter’s Abbey – one of the oldest monasteries in German-speaking Europe – and continues to function as a place of worship alongside hosting cultural events.
