Isabelle Faust live in Salzburg

Experience Isabelle Faust live on July 26th

Isabelle Faust is scheduled to perform at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria on July 26, 2026. Faust is a German violinist known for her historically informed performances and intensely focused interpretations. Her style emphasizes clarity of articulation, a refined tonal palette, and a commitment to exploring the performance practices of earlier eras, often utilizing period instruments or historically appropriate setups. She frequently engages with composers like Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, but also champions contemporary works.

The Mozarteum Foundation, and specifically its concert halls, holds significant cultural importance within Salzburg. Founded in 1841 by Leopold Mozart’s son, Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart, the institution initially functioned as a music school – the *Mozart-Konservatorium* – aiming to continue Leopold Mozart’s pedagogical legacy. Over time it evolved into a multifaceted organization encompassing a university (the Mozarteum University Salzburg), a concert series, and a foundation dedicated to preserving Mozart's musical heritage.

The current main concert hall, the *Großer Saal*, was inaugurated in 1914 and is renowned for its excellent acoustics and elegant architecture.
